You see this clearly in Philadelphia where you have half a dozen Quaker schools to compare.

Sidwell and Sandy Springs are different places, and both are also quite different from Friends in Baltimore. Friends in Baltimore can compare neatly with several of the Philadelphia Quaker schools like Friends Central or Abingdon, but is different from Germantown and William Penn Charter, both for quite different reasons.

TIA.

Ha, I meant ITA (I totally agree).

A handful, as in the case of Sidwell and Friends Seminary in Manhattan, are popular with elite families that you don't find at the other Friends schools, and that means a different campus environment. Some are more resolutely Quaker, others are Quaker in name only.
