@mama3and1 Hey, I am currently a senior, so I can give you the advice you may want as a prospective tenth grader. Every year, we have quite a large number of new 10th graders(around 65 when I was in 10th grade), and new 10th graders tend to have no problem assimilating into the culture. As in international student, you will have a special orientation a few days before normal orientation, and this will help you get you bearings once you get to Andover. I think it would be easier to answer a more specific set of questions, so feel free to ask. That will make it easier for me to answer. You can also PM me with questions.
