[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you! This is v helpful. I definitely care a lot about rigor, but also want my kid to enjoy learning and stay mentally healthy. [/quote] If this is the balance you're looking for, you should really consider the K-8 model. Like previous poster mentioned, it's a different vibe than the k-12. People talk about rigor as if it's entirely about school academic policies (how hard is the curriculum) and as if there's a set scale with objective measures that can be compared apples to apples. And it's really not like that. All of the schools on your list would be considered academically rigorous. Much of what determines success is a good match for learning styles and pedagogy. Much of it is about the students themselves. Top-performing kids at the K-8 schools get into and do well at the high schools you'd likely be interested in. It's worth careful consideration and research.[/quote]
