[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why? We are new family and our son has ADHD. At this point in the game, with tuition contracts already signed, even if we considered a last minute shift we could not. PP would love to hear any further details about SAAS and an ADHD student.[/quote]

If you're in middle school then you are probably fine.  One big plus of the Abbey is that after school sports are low-key, so getting exercise should be easy for your son.

High school the workload picks up. At the high school level it's 9 classes a semester, a lot of calling on students in classes to answer questions, and not much detailed, written guidance from teachers. Student body is friendly and from what I've seen happy to help each other out on questions about classes. A socially assertive yet still cooperative, well-organized, deadline-driven child would do very well here. I believe you'll need all three of these qualities to be a top student at SAAS. The HS workload is comparable to any Big 3 school from what I've heard. My son has done well here, in part from the much clearer guidelines about work and tests-- in some classes it's a zero if you're unprepared or don't turn in an assignment. [/quote]
