[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - you will get all kinds of advice on this board - some from folks with direct experience in the school(s) but most from people who really have no context.  The only way to know is to visit each school with the child, see what inspires them and go with your gut. Ultimately these and virtually all of the other private schools in the area are places where even and “unmotivated” child will thrive...[/quote]

Pp here: my DC got into all of the big three (yes, it happens). I know of what I speak. If she would be inspired, great. But if she wouldn't, she'll be with a lot of motivated kids, kids who became motivated, OR kids whose parents push very, very hard and are miserable OR whose parents don't push but feel ground down by the workloads. That's just who populates these schools. Visit and see if there's something that really captures her at one or more of those schools. If not, no big deal, find a place that fits better. Don't feel like you have to keep up with people who fret on this board. [/quote]
