[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So Freshman year also has 2-4 quizzes a week and several essays a semester?[/quote]

OP you seem set on the path of moving your son to WL mid year.  No one can tell you for sure answers to above.  It will depend on teachers your child gets.  Yes there will be essays and quizzes.  Probably it’s less than Gonzaga freshman year and would be less “grueling” for now but that is in a scenario where you started freshman year at the school.  I don’t know what it entails to come in mid 2nd quarter.  It will be a lot of catch up and I wouldn’t expect individual attention from any teachers to catch him up.  If you’re doing this I’d get info before winter break and do some school work over break to get him up to speed.

Other comments that I agree with:
-WL will not hand hold your child AT ALL.  Less than Gonzaga.  Junior year IB will ramp up like a freight train.
-The issues your son has in the area of executive functioning will not magically go away in 1.5 years at a public school.  You need a plan to work on strategies.
-If it was my kid I’d drop him down in a couple classes at Gonzaga and at least finish the year there.
