[quote=Anonymous][color=red]He wants to do a fall sport at the neighborhood high school. How does that work? I read there are sports buses that leave early but do they go to each school? Do the kids just miss that class every day?

Most high schoolers have their last block of the day, H block, as a free block. There are 8 blocks for classes at HB so it doesn’t affect taking the typical 7 classes. The H block is timed so you can take the provided bus back to your home school for your sport. My kid did this for track this year and it worked well. The ppl above who mentioned crew, they probably picked up at HB because they were they to the river and HB is already so close. HB has a bus to each high school each day for sports participation.

Is there still a shadow day- and is it in the next week or so since we only have 14 days to decide? [/color]
Yes, you will get an email next week with the date for your optional visit day and instructions.

Is it still true that there are no intensified classes- and AP classes are co-taught with non-AP?  [/color]
There is intensified for math at all the HS levels. The only AP/non AP combined classes my kid had was AP Lang and AP Lit in 10th and 11th grade. Maybe one more for a social studies but they did not take APUSH and it was not combined with the AP.

[color=red]Kid isn’t sold on the school despite being excited about it before - we’d be crazy not to try it right?  [/color]
Not crazy, but this is your only chance to try it. Kids do change their minds and go “back” to their neighborhood school. But it’s at least worth giving it a chance in most cases. [/quote]
