Newsweek supports these schools?
« on: September 19, 2005, 09:56:00 PM »
This site looks an awful lot like Newsweek- but it isn't clear it's an advertisement- looks more like promoting- as in the college university section.  hmmm... anyone know of these schools?    

http://www.newsweekshowcase.com

the schools listed are:

Red Rock Canyon School
Ben Franklin Academy
Brook Hill School
The Carroll School
George School
Graland Country Day School
Holland Hall
Oldfields School
Orme School
Queen Anne School

anyone heard of them?  I draw attention to red rock mostly, as someone from Woodbury's strugglingteens.com recommened it.  Given that Lon's daughter attended the school I attended, Mission Mountain, and gives it the thumbs up, any recommendations that comes out of there makes me pause.    This is the e-mail I received from Ron at struggling teens:

Also recommended was Aspen & Three Springs

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

Many of those schools are excellent college preparatory boarding schools.  Holland Hall may be a day school.  It is in Tulsa.  Oldfields is a girls' school (prep) in Maryland.  Orme is in Arizona.  These are not emotional growth schools.

Katfish, you can read about Red Rock Canyon School in the WWASP VS PURE transcript, and on the Teen Advocates USA website. This is not a good place to send kids! A child's death is reported on the TAUSA site.
