[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP but another parent interested for my two boys. I have one shy academic kid and one social butterfly. Both kids play a lot of sports.

Can anyone share what life is like socially?

I’m concerned kids will be geographically far apart and harder to hang out. I’m especially concerned for my shy kid. Afraid he won’t have any friends outside school.[/quote]

We are not at Flint Hill but many of my child's friends are and they get together often. They seem to have a fine time at the school. What I wanted to mainly say is that this is something you will need to address at any private school. Kids, especially at this age (and difficulty level), spend most of their time at school and with the people they meet at school. You will need to learn to facilitate them being able to see their friends outside of school hours/have get togethers/trips/ etc. and encourage your shy child. I don't know all of the children at FH, but I know a number of them as our K8 has sent many of them there over time. Especially from last year's group, there are a ton of great kids that are friendly and open minded.[/quote]
PP here. by last year's group I mean last year's K8 so this year's freshmen[/quote]
