[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP. Thanks so much for the responses so far!!  To the previous poster, we are also in Arlington and hoping for a number of Arlington families for incoming 9th graders!  I've been so incredibly impressed by the Admissions process - [b]and every single person I have spoken to has been incredibly kind. [/b]  Excited about next year!

?????   They're in sales....[/quote]

I wondered that too when I was first applying (to the lower school). I thought, they can’t really all be that nice, right? Especially because some other schools we looked at, while very professional and competent, were nowhere near as warm and welcoming. But you know what? They actually ARE extremely kind, and it really IS an extremely warm and supportive community. The administration, including the people in admissions, genuinely cares about my family. I see the head of admissions every day when I pick up my kids in the carpool line, and the associate head of school as well. They are there working with the kids, they know their names, they know their interests. They are parents in the community, much like many teachers, and they are just plain good people. It’s so sad that we’ve come to a point where genuine kindness is questioned as having an ulterior motive. [/quote]
