@boymom928 no, most kids at Millbrook dont have learning disabilities. My son is/was pretty brilliant but also has pretty severe ADD – very disorganized, hard time getting homework done on time etc. He came to Millbrook pretty beaten down, and over his four years there really blossomed. He was seen and valued for who he was – a very sweet boy, who was really smart, and who also had a hard time getting things done on time. I can’t say enough good things about Millbrook-- I really think they appreciate each kid for who they are.
My son learned ways of coping with his ADD, was absolutely challenged in his classes (his last two years there he took AP chemistry, honors calculus etc – the tough classes are there if you want them!).
I really credit Millbrook with putting him on a path to be happy, confident and successful. That wouldn’t have happened at every school. The fact that he got into a selective college is a bonus. But as the Head says, that’s not the right focus. The right focus is on preparing your child to be happy and successful in life – however they define success.
