<p>I agree with PieLover regarding the math class done Harkness style. It is exactly as descirbed. </p>
<p>As far as science? My son is a 9th grader or “prep” as they refer to them at Exeter and is taking Biology. Science translates very well with Harkness. He has been very successful transitioning to that method of teaching. I observed his class during parents weekend. I was very impressed.</p>
<p>This particular style fits extremely well with the type of personality my son has, so it has been easy for him to slide right in. He is very sociable and outgoing. For a child who is shy, it may be more difficult to transition, but in the prep year along with teaching in the particular subjects the teachers also indirectly teach how to be successful with Harkness without embarrassing the students.</p>
