We understand Maret had a homework rebellion many years ago. We were told the school took steps to reduce homework loads and the stress around homework.

School schedule is more like college with open periods. Students can use these open periods to meet with teachers and work on homework. Homework is not graded and you can work with other students.

Reality- weekend homework usually can get done on Sunday night(ie no homework on Friday or Saturday). Weekday homework is very manageable. If kid takes advance classes or an-online class they can have a few heavy weekdays. No homework over holidays. Overall load and stress is very manageable.

Maret this year has a full week off for Thanksgiving. So no homework, test or projects/assignments Thanksgiving week.

Overall it does not feel like Maret is not in competition with  NCS, STA, Sidwell and GDS. Maret does its own thing and likes flying under the radar. Kids seem happy, have school spirit and hang around campus. Seems like a nice high school experience.[/quote]

This is our experience as well[/quote]
