Back to school?

Karri and I attended 'Back to School' night this evening at Thomas' high school, Seattle Prep.  We got a modified copy of his schedule and walked through his classes, getting 10 minutes with each teacher and 5 minutes between bells.  It was a little stressful trying to get to the next classroom before the bell!

This is our first year at Prep and we've been very impressed.  Thomas is off to a great start - enjoying his classes and making lots of new friends (he's playing freshman football too - a topic for another post).  It was nice to get a glimpse into his daily routine, meet his teachers, and get a better feel for the curriculum.  We love the integrated curriculum, especially 'Collegio', which combines English (literature & composition), Social Studies (history, ancient civilizations) and Religion (scripture, church history, world religions).  I'm sure its not for everyone, but this format would have made my high school experience a little more interesting.

We're excited for Thomas.  It feels like he made a great choice in schools.
