My son is a 9th grader there and loves the holistic experience. We looked here after his 3rd re-zoning in public school and a month spent wasted on preparing for SOL tests that benefit the school but not the student. From after school clubs to trips abroad this experience for him as a student I would liken to being part of an energetic start up company as an adult. The key is inspiration. Every day is like a new challenge designed to bring out the best in your student.
This school is likely not for everyone. I would recommend it for anyone who would choose academics over athletics, whose bright child may be languishing in public schools as they focus on teaching to the middle, or who might question whether their current school's focus is more about what is right for the school than the student.
