Our daughter just graduated. Academics at times can be brutal, I think they lightened up a little since she started. But she survived and was more than ready to take on the world. Doing great in college socially and education wise. It was a good experience overall but was very difficult at times

Everything I thought was so great about sage is now what I hate about it. The small class sizes are what you'd expect in primary school and this is high school. Being in high school should prepare you to function in large environments (like business) with tons of people, but sage simply wants everyone
... Read more to stay in their comfort zones and stay in a small community setting. Because of this reason, I can conclude that sage lacks the ability to prepare its students for the real world beyond college. Also at Sage, everyone is always nice to each other, willing to work with anyone, and always reaching out to others. I'm not saying this is a bad thing but in the real world no one is always going to be there to give you a helping hand. Another thing about sage are these advisories. I think they are a bad idea. Students shouldn't be herded like sheep in this way and always be forced to sit with and meet with these people. Students should be free to choose their own friends and not have the school choose for them. As for report cards, comments are not necessary. This is in another way like grade school; the teachers point out the students' weaknesses for them and expect them to come ask questions. In high school, it is the students' and only the students' objective to find out their weaknesses theirselves and go ask questions. Because of this lack of skill for one to find his/her weakness, sage students might have trouble finding their weaknesses when it comes time for college. Read less

I have a child who's a freshman, and the school has exceeded our expectations -- small class environment (my daughter's class sizes range from 13 to 18), superb teaching staff, high academic expectations (but supportive in having my daughter be successful in her classes), and small (but not too small
