Prep has two. What is your point?

But which school has the most alumni and parents who regularly advocate before the Supremes? GDS, I’d wager.

You would uld lose this, actually.

I would like to hear from Prep alumni on this topic about the supremes.

What grade?

We had this choice (plus another) for 9th and we listened to our child regarding their preference. Child had no strong preference going in and even still no strong feeling when it came time to choose. Landed at Sidwell and was very happy with that choice.

I know people say they are more similar than different but I do think for some kids, the culture at these schools can feel very different and will "matter". I think for other kids (the ones who are great socially anywhere) it won't matter. Since both schools offer great opportunities to learn (albeit sometimes using different methods) - I'd follow your child's lead if they feel strongly about one over the other. They are both strong programs.

Of course, if you have a younger child, following their lead is harder to do. And if they are really young, you have no idea what kind of kid/learner they will be later.

Good luck

For an extremely introverted, very bright kid, looking for strong English, math and science, which would be the better fit?

Either really. Chances of getting into both are slim.

Yes it was nice of them to spend money in the community. My DD use that field 3 to 4 times a week during soccer season. Otherwise we would have to go to soccer complex out by Gaithersburgs.
