[quote=Anonymous]I like the idea of placement at 7th v. 4th because it’s a more natural transition point for kids and you will have a better idea of the type of student they are and their learning needs. However if you want to go to the Cathedral schools, the transition at 4th is not a big deal bc your kids will transition with friends. But even at 7th, your kid is likely going to transition to a school where they may not be with a lot of their friends.

As for Malcolm, he is a really nice person and very likable. However, please realize that both the lower and upper school at NPS has their own “head.” He doesn’t have as much influence as we would have liked with day to day issues with teachers and kids. We had a challenging experience there. He was aware of the issues but was fairly removed from dealing with it because it was someone else’s job to do that.

Some people have a lovely experience at NPS. On paper, I thought the program was excellent. But the actual experience is highly dependent on what kids your child ends up with in class. Social dynamics may make or break the experience. Beauvoir has more kids in each grade so it may not be as much of an issue.

The facilities and playground at Beauvoir is much better. 
There are trade offs to both.

Good luck.
