<p>Our experience mirrors MDMomofTwo. Our daughter has been on leave while at SYA and we still feel involved in her home school as if she were on campus. She’s in the directory, we get all the notices and invites, and notes from her advisor. We get the school newspaper and the bulletins. That’s in addition to all the stuff we get from SYA. I’ve heard similar stories about other schools which is why we tell parents look BEYOND prestige to what is the core philosophy of the school in terms of it’s interaction with students and family outside of academics. </p>
<p>How a school approaches this process is a good question to ask during school interviews. We are more than satisfied with our situation.</p>
