[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can any current families at the school speak to any changes in the upper school with the new head to strengthen the teaching and academics. Our kids are considering SSFS for high school, and we definitely want an academically challenging environment for them (while of course supporting social/emotional well-being). [/quote] We have not noticed major academic changes either way. [/quote] Nor have we - to me, the classes seem appropriately challenging, with APs being noticeably more difficult and with more/harder work. Teachers have really been willing to go the extra mile to help when needed (DC was out a lot last year for some health issues, and was meeting with teachers daily to help get caught back up). Overall (4 years, 2 kids), most teachers have been good to excellent. One was bad to start, but improved over the year, and one was just flat out terrible (nice person, bad teacher). [/quote]
