[quote=Anonymous]We were so impressed by SSFS when we visited that we enrolled our daughter knowing that the commute was over an hour one way!  Our daughter flourished there during the three years she attended, beginning as a sophomore.  We were looking for a school that would challenge her academically, but a lot of schools in Montgomery County offer excellent academic programs.  We wanted something more.  We wanted an exciting academic culture where students were "on fire" about their education.  We wanted teachers who were passionate about their subjects and about their students, and we wanted an administration who cared about each student in a personal way.  We certainly found all of this and so much more at SSFS.  Our daughter made many friends, traveled to different parts of the world, was in student government, Model United Nations, and on the Quiz Bowl Academic challenge team.   Academic excellence is the natural by-product there, but more important to my husband and to me is that she found a home where she could explore many facets of her varied interests and soar.  There are so many extra curricular programs at SSFS that each student can and will find her/his niche. When it was time to begin looking into college, we had much needed help from a very knowledgeable college counseling staff. She earned the highest merit scholarship available, guaranteed for four years, at her college.  She is more than ready to go forward as the young woman she's become at SSFS. To be able to say that a school's culture promotes kindness is, I believe, fairly unique, but I can say that about this school.  For her, it is the kind of high school that she will come back to visit for many, many years, and the friendships she made will be lifelong friendships. [/quote]
