And another quick thought- I’m sure you had solid reasons for choosing the school that you did. But as many of us have observed with our now adult children- the law of unintended consequences- Ugh. It’s like the laws of gravity- ignore at your peril. If your kids are in an intensely competitive environment, it is VERY hard for them to let go what might be their inner wiring which is telling them “do more, do your best, you need to excel”.
There are likely closer to home options if you decide a gap year/homeschool experience won’t work, that will provide them with a solid foundation without heightening their perfectionism/OCD. And sending them the message that you take their mental health very seriously could be a lifelong gift…
