<p>I agree with Stillinschool’s post completely. I wouldn’t discount small schools at all and agree Putney is a great example of a small school that is very accepting of all types of kids and has a strong emphasis on the arts. That said, it’s not a school that will appeal to everyone but I’d strongly suggest looking at it.</p>
<p>I would also look at Quaker schools. The Quaker philosophy is firmly based in social justice. I would suggest looking at George and Westtown. I was reading Westtown’s curriculum guide this weekend and courses include Essays of Gay and Lesbian Liberation, Schooled in Diversity Action Research: Gender@Westtown, The Big Fix: A Hollywood History of Heterosexuality.</p>
<p>So look at what is taught as well as what is lived.</p>
<p>I wish you the best of luck in finding a place that is safe for him.</p>
