[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are coming from a public school. Son starts in the fall as a 9th grader. Any recommendations for summer school to prep him for more intense experience?[/quote] Congrats! St. Albans has a good and pretty modestly priced summer school program with offerings in the major areas (English, math, science, etc.). Is there any academic area which you think might be more challenging to him? I'm no expert, but my sense is that 9th grade English is tough for some kids (I'm sure a lot depends on how much your kid likes to read and how much writing he did in his middle school English classes). I think sometimes the 9th grade Biology class is seen as difficult also? For math, you don't hear as much from freshman/sophomore year -- the junior year precalculus class is the one that people worry about. Good luck![/quote]
