Episcopal Academy or Haverford School?

While both Haverford and Episcopal would attempt to be loving in their accommodations of your son, I would never send a child with a disability to either. All well-intentioned ministrations to the contrary by alumni or school administrators, these schools are designed for high performance and high conformance - social, athletics, extracurricular, academics. In no way am I suggesting that the student body would be anything other than loving. But, when you’re a kid, happiness is often the product of inclusion and since the raisons d’etre of these schools are performance and conformance, you need to examine carefully whether either choice will be a happy environment.
