[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very happy WL parent writing now, also a graduate of an Ivy... One of WL's biggest strengths is its advisory system at the middle and upper school levels. Advisors spend a lot of in-school and after school time with their advisees, know them well, and offer regular individualized guidance, encouragement, moral support, etc.. They are great points of contact for parents. So, while I care a lot about rigor of WL's high school classes (and have aspiration for my kids to get into intellectually rigorous colleges that fit their personalities), it also makes a huge difference knowing that my kids also have a strong mentor/advocate/quarterback/cheerleader/counselor in the wings - helping them navigate, appreciate, and make the most of their high school years. [/quote] This sounds like my private high school. Great guidance, unlike the monster public high school. College prep high school is high stress, can't really identify with the PP who was reminiscing about when high school was fun. I mean we studied hard, did sports and drama club, founded a debate team, went to the beach a lot senior year. But it was a marathon. [/quote]
