We visited a less known local bs last weekend. The academics is probably not as great as top schools. But we loved how small classes are taught by highly qualified teachers. The class we visited was taught by a Ph.D. Students were enthusiastic and engaging. They were collaborating a local university professor on his research project and had access to resources that college students majoring biology don’t usually have. We would be very happy that if D would be attending there.
One of questions by AO to me, after seemingly some hesitation, was how would I feel about their “mandatory” courses that are lower level than D has taken already in colleges. I told her that I would be very comfortable for the grade level English and history as D can learn well at 9th grade if students are engaging and class size allows individual expectation from each student. She isn’t very advanced in Math due to lack of practice which is due to over-scheduling other subjects. Repeating Algebra II would be perfect because D only “barely” passed math placement test for Algebra based Physics course for next semester. We will just let teachers to figure out what would be the best for science and Spanish.
