[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our experience is with the US. It’s a school that can be more or less rigorous to meet a student’s needs depending on course selection. Almost all core classes have an honors section (a few don’t have honors offered in 9th) and there are a wide  diet of AP classes. Most of the teachers are excellent. There are a lot of electives offered and the school doesn’t prioritize one area like athletics or arts—kids can really explore and figure out what they are interested in and pursue those interests. Academic certificate programs are available in world language, STEM, visual or performing arts, or service.

My DC has taken all honors and APs except for the couple of 9th grade classes that don’t have honors sections. It’s been very rigorous and a lot of time and effort, but it’s been very rewarding and DC loves it. Highly recommend. [/quote]

+1 This has been my youngest child's experience as well. We always say that she will be well prepared for college! My oldest child, did not take more than four AP classes (all within the STEM curriculum; he got his STEM certificate) because he was not interested in the others and he had a lot more free time. Based on course selection, the kids really choose the level of rigor for themselves. We have been very pleased with the upper school, its fantastic teachers, and our children's education. [/quote]
