Sorry if it is bad form to resurrect such an old thread. I am considering Haverford for my son who will be junior next year. Here is the rub. My son has Aspergers and hence socially challenged. He is a shy kid. He doesn’t play sports. He has near 4.0 GPA but for my taste doesn’t show enough self motivation. I would need to push him as classes get tougher in Junior and Senior years (currently Soph). I may even have to hire tutors. The last thing I want to do is put him in an environment that doesn’t fit him. He may not do well in an environment where he is subjected to bullying. I can take him farther away into NJ to schools such as PDS or Hun if need be. What do you folks think about Haverford as a fit for my son? I hadn’t looked at Episcopal, etc. Not sure about religious school since we aren’t christians. Thanks.
