[quote=Anonymous]I cannot imagine that Maret - a school of incredible quality so dedicated to the growth of each individual - would allow the academic ambitions of its students to be thwarted due to the school's small size. If Maret doesn't offer a class and a student cannot take it through MSON, I would think that the school would arrange for the student to take a course at a local university.

Can any Maret parents speak to this?

We have sent our children through Maret and have not seen Maret arrange for any children to take classes at a local university.

We have had one of our DC, a very motivated student, find a class offering at a local university that DC then went and jumped through hoops ( with a lot of self advocating) to get approved for credit.

Maret has many diverse offerings and the school is very confident that they can accommodate the majority if not all of its' students needs. In our experience, we have found this to be the case, and of our multiple children, only one had the desire/motivation to look for a class outside of the course offerings. But the school did not find the class for DC and while they eventually signed off on it, the legwork is supposed to be done by the student.
