How are you liking your new private school?

The fact that it is an Episcopal school is something that never truly registered with us, though. It's not so much the religious portion. But the, well, WASP-iness factor. I am Jewish. My DH is not. But we are "culturally" more Jewish than anything else. While the parents on the surface are polite, I get the sense because I am quite obviously different, I'm held at arms length. Maybe this will change in time. But what really frightens me is that the small handful of Jewish families there are so, well, non-Jewish, as if they've sublimated that portion of their identity to better fit in with everyone else.

Not a Beauvior parent, but I can say with authority that we WASPs hold everyone at arms length - it's just how we are at first. Try not to take it personally.

WASP, Beauvoir parent here. Yes, we always hold everyone at arms length. Even when having sex. I still can't quite figure out how I spawned 3 DCs.

Getting back to the OP's original question, our
whole family is in love with Burgundy. My husband and I are secretly envious of our DS. We drop him off at that beautiful, woodsy, summer-camp-like campus and he does so many neat things during the day. I love that the kids incorporate the outdoor environment in their studies. I know it sounds totally corny but when I hear him gushing about school and being so enthusiastic about it I almost want to cry.

We've been at Burgundy for eight years now, and our children (and I) still feel that way!

We are at Norwood. I am so impressed about how the school covers everything. It is all done so well. Very professional staff.
