[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you elaborate on the colleges? I know that most colleagues have minimum requirements (e.g., 4 years English, 3 math, etc.), but it looks like there is only time during the day for four classes plus a "project" day vs. five core subjects (English, math, history, science, language). Am curious as to whether the approach in any way would take a cluster of colleges off the table? As I have no clue what my kid will like, I'd hate to put him in a position where he only could apply to say, small liberal arts schools, or schools that don't have minimum requirements, etc.[/quote]

All of the required subjects are covered in the blended Experience classes plus other classes and electives.  No colleges are "off the table" at all.  Last year, seniors were accepted at most of the main universities in Virginia plus Columbia, Bryn Mawr, U. Delaware, Connecticut College, Haverford, SUNY, Wesleyan, Fordham, etc.

Just contact the Admissions officer to discuss how the curriculum and transcript lead to these acceptances.

I think only 8 or 9 graduated so question this list. I think this pster is listing all of the schools that kids have gotten into ever.[/quote]

There were 11 seniors last  year.  All those acceptances come from that class.  It was the largest senior class the school ever had, some of whom had been there since the school opened.[/quote]

Those are acceptances or matriculations?

A few top kids may have received multiple acceptances.

Acceptances is the word in the text. Everyone who applied is going to college now, most at their first choice.

With a diverse student body in terms of interests and needs, their target schools were not the usual DCUM, "Oh my God, did they get into the top top top top schools?"

Sycamore is not about that on many levels. A couple of very strong students had an impressive array of choices for matriculation.  Pretty sure everyone had multiple acceptances.[/quote]
