[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a mom who's in Chevy Chase, DC. My child attends SSFS Upper school and absolutely loves it. It is a stellar, hidden gem that combines academic rigour in a friendly, cooperative environment. She has thrived there! All the departments - history, English, science, and Math - are excellent. They even offer AP classes, which she has taken since the 10th grade. The teachers truly want all children to learn their subjects, and treat them with kindness and respect. Lastly, they have a fabulous intersession and community service program that includes both international and domestic trips. Moreover, the Head of School, Tom Gibian, has been phenomenal in assuring it's a diverse, welcoming environment for all students -both US and International. (The school has a large international population that attend because of its stellar international reputation. The school offers both 5 day and 7 day boarding as an option.) Lastly, it's well worth the commute, which is only 27 minutes. They even offer bus service from lots of locations including Silver Spring and Bethesda. Definitely go to the SSFS Open House. You'll learn a lot! [/quote]

Thank you for this information.  I see that there is an academic support time built into the daily calendar. How does that work?  Can students just seek out help during that time or does it need to be prearranged with the teacher?  How much homework does your child typically have?[/quote]
