Well, I can say that our kid is surprisingly responsible, focused, organized and consistent. Much more than I was at his age! He goes to a big public HS where it’s easy to fall through the cracks, and he hasn’t needed hand holding there. For his AP tests, he has been the most prepared of anyone in his friend group… he is the kid who organizes study sessions and helps other kids catch up on the material.

We wouldn’t be looking at schools like McGill and the UK schools if he needed a lot of parental hand holding, or felt that he couldn’t handle a high stakes exam. Of course that doesn’t guarantee that he would succeed at these schools. There are a lot of unknowns. But I do feel that he is the type of student who has a good chance of adapting.
