[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bump. Looking for feedback on Maret in particular in terms of pressure and homework load (MS and US).[/quote] Okay, I will answer your question, since I'm no longer sure what the rest of this thread is about! There is pressure and homework at Maret, but it is wrapped in very supportive faculty, a thoughtful curriculum, and a peer group to pushes the other kids, but not to the point of a breakdown. I've had two different kinds of kids there and they were both happy. They each felt the pressure to succeed, but also felt able to communicate with their teachers about problems. If you've been there you will see - for the most part - a very engaged and happy group of kids. The middle school classrooms are energetic and there is a lot of dialogue; the homework is not onerous, but gets them progressively used to more demanding work in high school. And the school is academically rigorous with excellent college placements. [/quote]
