[quote=Anonymous]Let's be real -- bad behavior, inappropriate language and jokes, and bullying can and do happen at every school. The question is whether/how the school handles it and the degree. As the parent of a current US student, I feel like SSSAS does a better job than most schools of dealing with inappropriate comments or language. They have counseled out students who were repeatedly problematic and called in parents (myself included) with reasonable disciplinary measures when they were made aware of questionable social media posts (a learning experience for my child and others).

That said, all in all, it is an open and supportive environment -- plenty of different affiliations based on interest (sports, robotics, community service, arts) and generally kids maintain friendships across the grade with various groups. I don't feel like there are kids who are continually the target of others - from what I hear most kids go from feeling neutral to positive about their classmates with the exception of a bit of cyclical girl drama that seems to fade pretty fast.
