Can anyone relate any experiences they've had with classical schools?


Recommended Posts

Either positive or negative? At any level, high school or otherwise.

 

I think it's odd that they never offer AP classes-will that be a huge problem?

 

Considering a classical school here for high school, but first I need some way to find more information on the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Well, I have no idea where you are, but this is the school we will be sending DS to when he reaches middle school.

 

Maybe you could compare it the one(s) you are looking at....

I have a few friends who send there older kids there and they absolutely LOVE it. It's a GREAT school with top-notch academics.... most of the graduates get some kind of scholarship and go to good colleges.

 

The classes aren't AP, but they use college textbooks in high school.

 

My favorite part is the trip that the rising Seniors go on the summer after Junior year. Greece and Italy for 3 weeks! And it's Free!! (Well, I guess they take it out of your tuition, but still!)
