[quote=Anonymous]It can be a really great program for kids who like reading and writing. They also need to me pretty well organized and self directed / dedicated to doing the work. The teachers are good, but expect alot out of their students and hold them to pretty high standards. There is alot of homework. There is also tons of group projects, so they should be able to work in groups well and enjoy doing so. So, if it is a good match, then it is a great program, but the kid really needs to want to do the work.

There are a bunch of after school clubs. Many of the magnet kids do band or drama club.

The best part of the program for our kid has been the peer cohort. They have made some great friends and connections. Of course, it is complicated because many of them live 45 minutes away, but still they met people who they felt were on the same wavelength as them. That part has been amazing. The amount of work has been overwhelming at times, and often questionable if it is really needed, but it does make them incredible writers, or completely burned out.  :wink:
