[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone say how homework load translates into hours per night for a good student? Do they give study periods to help get work done or is it a significant amount of time per night? [/quote]

They encourage the boys to get ahead on homework during lunch, any breaks and sometimes the activity period. Hours depend in part on efficiency, any tendency to expand work to fit the time, the student’s individual strengths and weaknesses and the level of performance they’re aiming at. So it varies by student, but it is pretty consuming. [/quote]

I have a DS at Saint Anselms and a DD at a big 3.  HW load is comparable.  Several hours.  But as PP said above, a lot of it depends on the kid and how efficient they are.  My DS is not super efficient and struggles in some subjects, so workload seems heavy.  And he takes advantage of free periods, lunch and metro ride home to do some work.  Unfortunately, DS also involved in athletics, so part of inefficiency might just be that he’s tired at the end of the day. [/quote]

Did he apply to the Big 3 and get rejected?[/quote]

Not the previous poster, but we chose it over a big 3 and love it.  Many families make this choice.[/quote]
