We are in the southeast so far away from the schools in North East we are looking at. I hear a lot about day students going off when there are no Saturday classes. But days students range from 25% to 0% at the schools we are looking at and although there are fewer students when they go home, there are still plenty to hang out with. Also, these schools are trying to make weekends more entertaining to keep the kids engaged. I feel that two days off gives them enough time for ECs and engagements that the kids have and time to decompress. At Grton we heard that they have study hall on Sundays so kids can finish their homework etc.
Hope to hear from more parents and kids. @DrPrimo - how is the situation at Choate?
Thank you all for your opinions.
