[quote=Anonymous]My child at Field currently sounds like your child.  Very smart, but does not do well in the pressure cooker scenario, and we thought the small classes would be helpful for our kid who is curious and likes to learn in different ways (no LDs).  We have found that the academics are not as lax as some on this board would have you believe.  There is plenty of homework and challenging assignments. Some classes are more creative than others.  All are small, allowing curious kids to thrive and learn in their own way.  No AP classes, and the small school means less choice, but the choice in arts classes is great, as well as the various activities which occur during the day so kids become joiners and engaged in school activities.  Same for sports-- everyone participates.  Unlike others on this board, I am not worried about college-- I have a bright kid who will go to college-- probably not an Ivy, because that does not interest us--but if my child wanted to, it could happen from any of these schools.[/quote]
