<p>bamagirl, think of it as coming to a new school in 1st or 2nd grade, when many kids know each other from kindergarden but bonds between everyone aren’t too strong.</p>
<p>Ccer I would do the same thing. Or I would do two sciences senior year or something. All of the arts stuff sounds like so much fun i don’t know who wouldn’t want to do it! But idk two frees a day sounds pretty cool too.</p>
<p>I was never really a big arts person, not because I don’t like it, more because I suck too much to improve lol.
BTW would you rather have 2 frees at the same time or 1 in the morning 1 in afternoon ephant</p>
<p>1 in the morn one in the afternoon. But that’s cuz I get bored easily. Lol. And I could do morning and afternoon he in each</p>

<p>Grad requirements cannot be taken Pass/Fail. P/F is more of an audit and an extra class, not a full academic subject. Look on DANET for more info.</p>
<p>Wait so then how do you meet your arts requirement unless you drop a class or have an average of over 90 and can take more classes?</p>
<p>could you please reference to where on danet this information is located?</p>
<p>I don’t have a danet so could you just clarify?</p>
<p>Ok. I wil try to explain. DA students generally take 5 classes per term. Those 5 classes are not always Math, Science, English, Language, History. For example, my D (a math science kid) took only two years of history. In place of history she doubled up on math one year and did her philosophy/religion and arts in another year. Other more history oriented kids might choose 4 years of history and drop science, math or language for a year or two to meet requirements or take electives. You have the flexibility to choose. </p>
<p>Grad requirements are on the main deerfield.edu site under In Class. On DANET look under Academics/Sample Four Year Programs. </p>
<p>Also, if your advisor will help clarify.</p>
<p>Thanks 1012mom you really clarified</p>
<p>Oh I just realized how sarcastic I sound in the previous comment.
I’m not being sarcastic. :)</p>
<p>My D will be a freshman there this yr and my son will be playing for next yr. Does DA give preference to siblings?</p>
<p>New Freshmen, What are your first impressions of Deerfield?</p>
<p>Invent…most new students students, aside from internationals and sports kids, dont check in until saturday.</p>
<p>BostonPapa: In 2009, 51% of siblings were admitted vs. 15.66% overall. This was announced at the Fall Parents’ Weekend last year.</p>
<p>So, Koch Industries, led by founder of the John Birch Society, just gave 20 million to Deerfield. I’ve been thinking a lot about the political influence of prep schools and found this provocative. When you look at boarding schools, do you look at who funds them?</p>
<p>Koch gift was many years ago.</p>
