[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid did a language one in summer 2021 and, honestly, it was awful. Boring and rigid with very immature activities for high schoolers (show and tell with stuffed animals sort of stuff). Without the residential component, there was zero appeal.

I will say that I think it helped his college application. He got into a reach school. So I’m glad he stuck it out. But it was not fun and I didn’t get the feeling the teachers were aware or cared the kids were miserable.

(STEM and performing arts were in person. Only the language kids got robbed last summer. Was group biology safer than group Spanish? )

I wonder if the problem was the school itself. My daughter went to Radford for a dance intensive last summer that was residential. We had wanted to send her to one at JMU, but they weren’t offering room and board, just the classes (she wound up just driving in for the Saturday session)

Anyway, some of the schools still weren’t opening their dorms for summer last year.[/quote]
