[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is currently at St. Andrews, and we love it.  We are lucky that he's thriving and happy.  Enrolling in a private school is not like enrolling in a public school.  Public schools are required to accommodate everyone.  I went to a public school in this area, and think they are great.  However, my son does better in a small setting, so we've kept him in private schools.   As parents, we all want our children to be happy and accepted, and do our best to provide that.  Unfortunately, the world does not work that way.  We all go through life looking for acceptance, and make our decisions to stay at jobs, frequent stores or restaurants, join gyms and make friends based on that feeling.   It's important to teach a child how to handle these situations and remedy them.  Instead of slamming one school over another because they didn't provide what your child needed, it's our responsibility as parents to keep looking for the best possible place.  It's also our responsibility to teach children to be citizens of the world and understand that their interaction impact that world.

BTW, St Andrews Center for Learning is partnered with Harvard not Hopkins.

This post tells prospective parents a lot about attitudes at St. Andrews.  Choosing a school is like choosing a gym?  Only those who "belong" are okay?  Others need not stay?  Yikes.[/quote]
