[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is also a big-little program for incoming freshmen to help them get to know some people before school starts. [/quote] This was a big bust for my child. The Big Sib, after an obligatory introduction, never made contact thereafter. My child's experience has been 1) easy to make friends 2) kids largely make friends among peers, and not really with other upperclassmen. My kid is in a sport and there has been minimal to no effort by upperclassmen to welcome incoming freshmen. This forces the freshmen to band together, which is good but overall, is a good indicator of general TJ school spirit - there is none. It's a school with smart, driven kids but has no real culture or tradition of its own. Shame really, because it is the culture which defines a truly great school, not just academic results.[/quote]
