The hoped-for royal flush aside, perhaps the real value of a Choate Rosemary Hall education lies in the different types of learning experiences the school has to offer. We have the advantage of having a student's complete attention. Of course, given the demanding nature of our classes, we are driven by our schedule. It sets the pace for the week. In the course of one week students have added one more hour.
Classes meet less frequently, but there's the same amount of homework per week.
The uniqueness of our academic program is that we do more overall with the pool of applicants we get. We go deeper. We do as well as our peer schools or better with the top kids who come our way. All of our kids are the best. Davidson attributes the school's current effectiveness in part to the downsizing initiative.
