[quote=Anonymous]I definitely think it can be a harder transition for boys who don't come until 9th grade. When we toured when our son was in 4th and 5th (he's now in 6th at SAAS), multiple teachers mentioned how it was easier for the boys who started in 6th grade and had three years to adjust to the expectations and workload. Particularly given the lack of grammar education in public school nowadays, a student starting in 9th would seem to be behind the ball. And yes, we think it is a very special place. Just looking at the suggested reading list on their web site, or the newsletters, will give you a sense of the culture -- very interested in ideas and the life of the mind. And we love that there are activities for all types of boys and parents to enjoy -- new parent get-togethers included dinner at a parent's house, trivia night with the high school quiz bowl, movie night, sports events, a gala, and so forth.
