I'm sure many have heard of the rigorous academic curriculum at OHS - and they aren't joking.
Best teleprompter for high school students full#
Junior: I've been enrolled at OHS for three years now, and I've had the privilege of experiencing all three different enrollment options here (single course, part time, and full time) each for one year. All the clubs are open and there for you, and the school is 100% committed to diversity and comfort for all its students, and not afraid to discuss uncomfortable situations. Classes like Neuroscience of Addiction and Experimental Research all take place in the top-notch biology labs, and our laser cutters, CNC machines, and woodcutters mean that kids can build literally anything in the i-Lab. Yes they are our teachers, but a lot of them are also friends! Further, I would say the best part about the school is how unique the classes and resources are. The school culture of calling our teachers by their first names means that we get to know them really well, and we know that they are there for us. I joined in 9th grade just for the high school and loved it! All the students are super welcoming, and the small class size (about 100 to a grade, 12-16 people per class) means that the environment is intimate and you get to know people really well. The school has literally blown us away! We are thankful that our son is there and hope that other schools can use them as a benchmark going into the winter of the pandemic. I never thought I would pick a school based upon their ability to handle a medical global outbreak. I know that when selecting schools grades, scores and college admissions are the number one priority. Not only did the school literally review replace hundreds of things across the campus, they’ve also implemented a fantastic screening program, testing program, and communications program for SARS-COVID19.
Not only their children but their administration and teachers are out of this world!
In sitting down with the other dads it is undoubtedly true that no school has done more to prepare post the outbreak of the pandemic then St Mark’s. Parent: I have friends who are attending various private and public schools in the Dallas-Fort Worth area from grades 5 on through 12. I will be forever grateful to the Groton School for providing me with the opportunity of experiencing what it is like to enjoy learning, to enjoy being challenged, even to enjoy failure (there's been quite a bit). Coming from public school, I was shocked at how ready, not to mention excited, my teachers were to meet with me outside of class, discuss extra material, and even help with other subjects! The connections I have made with my teachers are extraordinary. Groton is able to combine extremely rigorous academics with brilliant teachers who make teaching their first priority. And yet that is something I had never experienced until I came here. This is the kind of place where you grow not in a slow, easy-going manner, you are pushed, hard. I continue to be challenged in schoolwork, sports, and in most other facets of life at Groton school. Needless to say, I have now been challenged. Junior: I came to Groton as a student who had never truly been challenged in any capacity in the classroom.
