[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a serious question regarding HS. My DS is a good student. I would not describe him as gifted. I would say that he has always tested well above grade level and gets high marks. He also a child who is well rounded and a "joiner."

Please tell me about Latin's extracurricular activities.

My child is passionate about sports. He is also a musician and actor. I am not considering BASIS because of the AP emphasis. I am considering Wilson because he can have it all there. I told him that we will apply everywhere as we need to keep our options open. Ideally, I would send him to a private or parochial school that is strong in academics and athletics if we can afford it, but Latin, with its new facility, may hold promise for us.[/quote]

There is a lot to do, and the school is very responsive to kids who want to 'start' things.  For example, a student started a model UN club and has attended Model UN conferences this year with a small group of students and the awesome teacher who is supporting/coaching them. There are varsity sports and the kids love the fellowship and fun of them. There used to be more theatrics in HS--really, quite good ones.  Less now, but that could come back.  Again, a lot of it comes from , and is responsive to, student interest. Our kid is looking forward to ultimate frisbee this spring. [/quote]
