[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To machismo/patriarchal/MAGA for our centrist family. [b]Academics no where near as good as publics (W schools), or top privates.  [/quote][/b]

False, the Heights teaches a classical education so students learn to think critically and to write beautifully. You no longer get that in public - there it’s all rote memorization and teach to the test. The Heights does allow acceleration in certain instances, which publics can’t handle - hence it’s a good place for a gifted kid. The teaches discourage mindless computer and phone use. The lower school the students memorize and recite poems in the old English school tradition. The school tries to build character; publics don’t.  The students go to great colleges - they’ve got one student now at Oxford and another heading for Harvard Law.[/quote]

You can praise the Heights and it may be a wonderful school but no need to slam the public’s. The Ws are not all rote memorization/teaching to the test. And they contribute to character building too in part by being a diverse environment where kids will encounter a wide variety of other folks including people with a different political opinions and religions.
