[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes it’s not just special needs but rather integrated.  We have a family with a son there and they actually really like it.

We looked at it when we looked at York prep as well.  I think it’s better than York prep.   But  we think Trevor is better and a bit more challenging.

The one issue was the class size was small in one grade.  [/quote]

Trevor is a notch better but it was on the same level not that long ago. [/quote]

It felt like at BWL, if you are super high achieving and want to take a course that they don't have currently, students there spoke about how the administration would work to start the course or program...Trevor felt much less facile and flexible. Plus, Trevor doesn't do APs (which I like), but for students who want APs, particularly in science or math so that they can enter college at certain levels, BWL seemed more accommodating. There were 3 kids in an AP Physics course we saw, 4 in an AP Calc...they are incredibly different schools, from the building, to their ethos, to school uniforms, to their size. But I can see that if you're looking at schools with learning supports, the schools overlap in who looks at them. My DC really liked both, for different reasons, but ended up feeling BWL was too small, and Trevor too loud and without structure.[/quote]

So where did they go?

I think Trevor is more comparable to other schools than BWL is. Fewer kids with learning supports though there are some. We looked at it and liked it a lot but there were some things that led us to go elsewhere - nothing major that is worth discussing. I know it is a bit of an oxymoron, but if a kid wants a "normal" private HS experience without all of the glitz, glamor and stress of a TT but good academics and exmissions (I know some would argue their exmissions aren't good but they are - a kid who works hard and does well there has a decent chance at a TT school), Trevor is a good option. The obsessive hatred of it by one or two people here is weird and I'm sorry it has sidetracked all conversation of the school.

Note that I also view things primarily through the enter for HS lens.[/quote]
