[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For hs, GDS has much more of a college feel than a high school feel.  The level of intellectual engagement, breadth of interests, rapport between students and teachers, seriousness of purpose, independence, and respectful socializing with each other is truly impressive.  All of the stats are impressive too, but the atmosphere of the school is unlike any other high school, private or public, I've ever visited. [b] It feels much more like a small liberal arts college than a high school. [/b]It's certainly a distinctive school, and you and your child should visit to see if it works for your child.

I should add that I don't say any of this in contrast to Maret (the premise of the A v. B thread is a little silly).  Lots of great things to say about Maret, but I just don't know it well enough to write.[/quote]

An interesting, if humorous, variant on the claim made by schools with larger and more impressive campuses that they look like small liberal arts colleges.  People, it's high school, chill.   [/quote]
