@Mh004g if you have specific questions about Wheaton, I may be able to answer as I have a student attending. He had an atypical high school experience (homeschooled through a small hybrid - lots of critical thinking and rigor in humanities/social sciences, less rigorous on STEM, very small student cohort and lots of mentoring for his high school years) and has ADHD and some related challenges. Similar to your son, mine also likes to keep up on politics and prefers small groups for fun. He also considered (and visited) Clark (already on your list) and Dickinson (which someone suggested to you). I agree those are both worth a look as well.
