<p>Oh, sorry, my bad...</p>
<p>does SPS charge for meals? or does that come with paying tuition?</p>
<p>Well, the helmet law is for those under 16, so it would apply to many at the school.</p>
<p>You'd be spending a fortune if they didn't. It comes with paying tuition...</p>
<p>What is Coit Center known as being? More studious or social?</p>
<p>"We're said to have the best food of any BS"</p>
<p>that's lawrenceville</p>
<p>@ creative1 (#16): I've always wondered how demoralizing it must be to be an inmate in the New Hampshire penal system stamping out license plates that read "Live Free Or Die." Is that not the ultimate put down/psych out?</p>
<p>Hah! :) Never thought about that! </p>
<p>It is also affectionately known as the "Live, Freeze then Die" state!</p>
<p>janemac, the ballet program is the best of the boarding schools. It is serious and if you are in the company the time commitment is around 20 hours a week (It's taken as both an art and a sport). There are five levels and the top two make up the "company". There are two full time ballet teachers, and many regular guest teachers. The ballet program has it's own building and dressing rooms etc. </p>
<p>dancerx3, chapel is not painful. It's a really nice transition from waking up, gulping down brek and classes. People actually enjoy it.</p>
<p>MomtoanUndecided, last year center was very social but after housing came out this year it looks like it is going to be very different this year. The head of house is generally well liked and there are really good seniors in the dorm this year.</p>
<p>Could anyone tell me which classes Sps focuses on (i.e. Exeter focuses on Math/Science). I think someone mentioned humanities...</p>
<p>I JUST realized that Katie (Tennisgirl) created this thread a while ago. I was wondering why the heck she was asking questions when she was at the school.</p>
<p>seikuu: SPS has just allotted substantial funds to build a new math and science center. St. Paul's is famous for its humanities program and Ivy League placement. Several Ivies, HYP I believe, sent teams to SPS to examine the humanities programs because St. Paul's students did so well during their first year of study at these schools. St. Paul's is a well rounded school, but only admits about 22% of its largely handpicked applicants ( it is half the studentbody size of Andover or Exeter, both of which have about 1100 students).</p>
<p>seikuu, while sps is known for its curriculum centering around the humanities program its science and math offerings are also impressive. In both departments the standard advanced courses are offered (calculus, linear algebra, vector calc, etc and advanced sciences of physics, bio, and chem) as well as interesting and challenging electives such as astronomy (the school has four telescopes), robotics, AI, etc. If you do find an area where you exhaust all the classes you can design your own curriculum with a faculty adviser. For example if you start in calculus freshman year, then take linear algebra and vector calc sophomore year, and then Advanced Mathematical Studies junior year, your senior year you would work with a faculty member instead of being part of the class. The same holds true for the science department.</p>
<p>haha yea
i posted this before sps
lol</p>
<p>There's a new video on the SPS site's homepage: Please</a> wait... </p>
<p>Thought you might be interested. I think it does a good job of accurately representing the school plus some of my best friends are in it!</p>
