<p>So many people in my class are going to boarding schools like Exeter for summer school. But is it really that good or just a plain waste of time?</p>
<p>dunno, but the physics class i took at the local CC was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ez.</p>
<p>the quality of the classes vary by school. generally you can get credit for summer school though. i had a friend who took summer school for three summers and graduated after her junior year.</p>
<p>If they have 4.0’s and do AP’s, they really should do things more meaningful to them, unless the courses they’re taking over there are related to their interests.</p>
<p>I took Calculus I at the boarding school I go to. We don’t let outside students in, however, and the fee is very reasonable at $400, which includes room and board.</p>
<p>At my school, summer school is better than the school year as far as I’m concerned. You get more time to be with your friends and the learning environment is much more relaxed.</p>
<p>People at my school just take summer school because of how easy the courses are - they’re basically free mark boosters. Oh well, hopefully colleges will see that.</p>
<p>What about courses at Exeter or Andover?</p>
