[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be sure to ask about teacher training and AP classes. Less than a gem in my eyes. [/quote] Field does not have AP classes, though it does have advanced classes of their own creation. I think this is far superior to APs, which give curriculum development over to a for-profit corporation that emphasizes breadth over depth. My DC who went to Field was very academic and was not hurt at all in the college process. Colleges want to see applicants who take the most advanced courses at their school, not necessarily APs. Andover doesn't offer APs. Schools are moving away from them because they are highly flawed. I can't speak to teacher training. We haven't had a bad teacher yet. I know they must exist, they exist every where, but after three years at Field I have yet to be disappointed.[/quote]
