[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 boys at Gonzaga and can confirm there’s a HUGE difference between regular and honors courses at Gonzaga. Maybe he can bump one or two down to regular for 2nd semester? Might give him some breathing room and time to ramp up before sophomore year. [/quote]

True but even a non honors class like religion is a lot more work than we expected. Every class has a lot of quizzes, honors or not. [/quote]

Does your son have friends at W-L? If so it may be a very easy transition mid year or next. If he dislikes academic structure of Gonzaga this much to consider leaving mid-year, the school may not be a good fit. At least at W-L there's a couple years to decide whether or not to pursue the IB diploma program or choose a more AP oriented path, or another academic path entirely, e.g., taking a double-period Career Center course. [/quote]

He definitely wants IB; he hopes to study in Europe. He’s just more math oriented so all this reading and writing, I wish it was metered out and I expected more help from teachers. [/quote]

If he's certain about the IB diploma, you should get in contact with the W-L IB Coordinator asap to confirm prerequisites prior to transferring. Do this soon with xmas break around the corner. [/quote]
