[quote=Anonymous]GDS does have a PE requirement in 9th grade (mostly health/CPR) but they are quite flexible regarding schedule for kids with major interests/talents that require a big out of school commitment. There was a nationally-ranked figure skater there a few years ago that definitely got out early I believe, and a few dancers, probably others I don't know about. So talk to the admissions office about it and they may refer you to the athletic director and/or dean of students to discuss, but compared to other local schools we found GDS more flexible about this sort of thing (Sidwell is very definitely not flexible for instance). The block schedule helps, because based on how choose classes/schedule, a couple of days could have nothing after say 2 pm. Classes end at 3:15 and it seems possible that every single day getting to gym by 3:30 would be difficult, but suspect it could work to arrive on time most days. [/quote]
