[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lab and Siena are going to only focus on the dyslexia and not her strengths. That’s why we picked McLean after visiting all 3. They can accelerate on the strong academics and she will be able to stretch more in her strengths. We have similar situation with our son - very bright in math and he struggles with reading. I think your daughter might find the academics unchallenging at lab and Siena. McLean knows exactly how to support and challenge that profile - we couldn’t be happier there for what it’s worth. [/quote] I wouldn't rule out Lab--they have kids on more advanced math tracks and challenge kids in their areas of strength. I know McLean likes to say other schools only focus on deficits, but it's not true in our experience. A friend who started teaching at the McLean upper school is really frustrated with the low level of the curriculum and doesn't feel like it prepares them to be independent. [/quote]
