[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How common is having an outside tutor in the upper school?[/quote] I believe it is fairly common for a couple of STEM subjects (the non-honors upper level math course comes to mind). Less common for the humanities. They have a peer tutoring program that can be good if your son is motivated and paired with someone he works well with, and the teachers are accommodating about giving extra help (often it is the schedule that is the limiting factor from the student's perspective -- particularly if the student is very involved in athletics). I would say if you think a tutor would help your child, don't feel bad about it, but maybe explore the in-house options first? [/quote]
