1255.0. "College Gate" by STAR::MANSEAU () Tue Feb 25 1997 13:19

    
    Has anyone ever sent their child to a summer program called College
    Gate?  Its an academic based program offered out of the Fenn school
    in Concord.  (there are other locations as well)  We are looking at the 
    K-3 program.  It runs for three weeks.   
    
    Thanks, Teri

Seeing the title, I can only think of political scandals, ie Watergate.

Wonder if the school was names pre-Nixon...  ;-)

    I do know from the literature that you must submit
    confirmation that you child has a certain IQ to 
    get into this program.

    Instead of the IQ test they will take a recommendation from the childs
    teacher.  My teacher filled in a "form" saying where her ability is 
    for such and such.  It was actually informative (I'm not crazy about
    the "new" report cards).   We decided not to go because it runs for 
    three weeks.   I don't want to fill up her summer with too much
    structure.  I also don't know anyone who's gone or is going from my
    area.  
    
    They had a few programs that sound wonderful.   We had been
    interested in book writing, knights and castles, theatre, and space. 
    It is an "elite" program no doubt.   
    
    They have a program for older children too which runs out of Concord
    and Worcester.
