[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, nay sayer here. Honestly, all of the big private schools in Washington have well oiled PR, similar if not identical applicant pools ( read: eventual classroom make up) and parents who work in the same professions one finds in Washington: World Bank, IMF, Congress, Lobbyist, Law, Media, various think tanks, diplomatic corps. Schools may have slightly different mission statements, but a school's ability to live and educate in faith with its mission statement is largely dependent on how financially secure they are and whether or not they are trying to improve their schools physical plant. The 100 million dollar capital campaign at Sidwell comes to mind. You may choose a certain private for a type of culture you saw reflected there and 6 years later find that your tween is enrolled and you are paying tuition at a school that is philosophically very different than what you wanted.

Best to be flexible . THe offer letters decide a lot of the "fit" all on there own.[/quote]
