Don't listen to this. They are the exception, not the rule. If you can, send your child to NCRC, if you are hoping for a #BigThree for pre-k or K.

We worked with an admissions consultant who said that schools are trying to diversify where kids are coming from. We were the only applicant from our daycare. At the tours and welcome event, we met a lot of people who are not from NCRC, Little Folks etc.

You are very interested to me. Ao that’s what is coming out now? Better to send your child somewhere else? Who was your consultant? I probably need one.

River school also, but probably 70% of BVR students come from NCRC and Little Folks (or moved to DC from overseas).

So NCRC still the best option?

Or you could send your kid to NCRC and not pay for a consultant...Who hires a consultant to help their child get into pre-k? Your child could very well get counseled out in 3rd grade. A total waste of money.

NCRC has grown bigger over the years and the majority of the kids (like 85-90%) want to go on to private school afterwards. Realistically, only 8-10 kids from there can go to Beauvoir each year, if that. So even kids from NCRC should cast a wider net than just applying to Beauvoir, unless they're also kids of Cathedral school alums.
It is a great option for its wonderful preschool program and phenomenal teachers. The outplacement guidance is very good and opened our eyes to options that we may not have applied to otherwise.

Thanks for your input! Does it apply to PreK or also K?

Your kid probably would have gotten in without a consultant. What's next? Consultants to help your kid get into the robotics club?

NCRC's PreK program is really good - better, I think, than what I saw at area privates, and also have heard the same from families who have experienced both. If you are really set on Beauvoir, though, you could try at PreK and then again at K if you don't get in.

I hear that their preK is beyond expectation. I will do that! Thanks a lot for sharing very useful informations.

I have had kids doing last year at NCRC and another PK at BVR. I agree that I liked the NCRC PK year best, but it is less academic. At BVR the kids learn letters numbers and begin to learn phonics and math. This is not the case at NCRC. My DD (who was quite advanced) came out of NCRC only knowing upper case letters and numbers. My other kid at BVR learned upper case and lower case letters as well as numbers and a little phonics and math.

I still think PK at NCRC is better since in K at BVR they start again from zero.
