[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It has a strong performing arts program with good facilities.  Those activities are treated on par with sports.  Most schools we visited had athletic fields of that quality so I think they are trying to keep up.[/quote]

True but the technology/robotics is an afterthought. It’s in a crowded room in the basement. Definitely not equal weight to sports [/quote]
You make it sound like a dungeon. The building is on a hill so the robotics room has a wall of windows and an exterior door. The kids open it up and even bring materials outside to work on when the weather is nice. There are also far fewer students doing robotics vs performing arts, vs sports.

There’s no stigma against kids who aren’t athletic or don’t participate in sports. It’s very much a school that enables students to pursue their interests. Students don’t ever have to do a sport to fulfill the PE requirement - robotics and performing arts can cover all of it. There are also plenty of students who do both sports and performing arts or robotics. [/quote]
