<p>My daughter did 1.5 years at a BS, although she was a day student. We loved the school, she loved many parts of the school, but in the end, her temperament was not suited to the 12 hour days, 6 days a week model. She is an introvert and needs some down time and creative outlets to recharge her batteries and it simply wasn’t available in the BS schedule.</p>
<p>The school was very accommodating; they do however report that it is a demanding atmosphere and not every kid is cut out for it.</p>
<p>D is now at a tiny arts/holistic schools and absolutely loves it. In fact it is probably the polar opposite of BS in terms of teaching style and student. SHe made some friends at BS but was uncomfortable with the affluence of much of the student body. Or the display of affluence, at least. </p>
<p>The irony is, when I look at college acceptances for both schools, they are very similar. I think at her current school my D will love to learn. It is not for everyone, I think my S would have liked the competition in the BS, but he opted to stay in the public system and got a great education and preparation for college.</p>
