[quote=Anonymous]My child is a junior at Northwood, and I think it's been a pretty good experience. The school just changed principals this fall, so I know it's been in flux, but the new one seems fairly on top of things. It's a smaller school, with just 1400 students, I think, half the size of Blair.

I know Northwood added Chinese as a language option this year, which is good because it was limited to just French and Spanish in the past. There seem to be a fair number of AP classes.

One difference with Northwood is that students take eight classes a day instead of seven. They take each class every other day. That way they can take more electives; they are also able to finish most class requirements by senior year and can take an abbreviated schedule. The school offers an internship program for seniors, which we're looking into right now.

I've had a few concerns about violent incidents in the past, but none this year, and they only affected the few students involved and not other students.[/quote]
