I just graduated from Flint Hill, and it's a good school but it definitely has its faults. In terms of academics, you can definitely find a challenging curriculum if you look for it.

For the really bright student, the quality of the academics is only challenging in the amount of work and the pressure, not in the depth of learning. Teacher quality is radically uneven, from inspiring to barely competant. At the present, the administration and board of trustees appear to be more concerned
