[quote=Anonymous]These boarding academies are just a whole different beast than day schools. Many students are reclassifying as 15-16 year old freshmen. Many students hail from elite NYC day schools such as Trinity, Dalton, Spence, etc. and have a very solid academic foundation in the humanities. Many international students are absolute rockstars in advanced STEM and easily get A's in the math/science classes. Tons of these students are entering with experience in calc, physics, biology, and chemistry, meaning they can sail through an ostensibly challenging curriculum. The level of competition at these top 10 boarding schools is just so much more intense than a DC day school. If your kid is just the typical suburban overachiever, expect them to just graduate within the median and you'll be happy. [/quote]
