<p>Thanks for the information, which confirms my impression of the difference between the science program at Exeter and its math program. Can any current Exeter student please let me know what some of the currently used textbooks are for science? </p>

<p>Thanks for sharing that link. I had been there before, and as I figure out how to read between the lines, it appears that my son may have had much of the course content of the science curriculum offered in the first two years at Exeter already--although he studied that content without the lavish science building and the chance to discuss the material Harkness-style with other Exeter students. (My son's classes locally do involve a lot of discussion, and are sufficiently advanced to take the local day schools out of the picture as options for high school. We interview at our local university this week to discuss early entrance there.) </p>

<p>My son did that a while ago (just after the end of the Thanksgiving break) and has been surprised that no one has answered his inquiry yet. I think he will try again to write to specific faculty members at Exeter. The question of science placement is quite important to us, and we are getting answers (sometimes satisfactory answers, sometimes not :) ) from various other schools about the same issue as we inquire about what to do for next year. </p>
<p>Thanks for the info. I'd be delighted to hear from other Exeter students anything you can tell us about the science classes and the materials they use.</p>
