[quote=Anonymous]We moved DD to BMS from a different all girls school last year, in an off entry year.  Overall we are very pleased. The academics are top notch - uniformly excellent teachers. The classes are 70 (80?) min long with 20 min “passing periods” to get to class (allowing kid time to get to Gilman or RPCS for class). Kids have 3 academic classes each day and each class meets every other day. No academics after lunch - instead, clubs, time to meet teachers, yoga, PE, free time. I love this schedule- school days are not intense with only 3 classes and  time in between to relax. Girls can be cliquish, though it feels as though my DD found her group pretty quickly and is happy. 
The school is very diverse - 50% non- white and very accepting of LBGTQ+. The school’s detractors will tell you that it’s too accepting and will “turn your kid gay.”  In reality, kids feel comfortable in their own skin, being who they are, and sometimes trying on different identities. To me that just shows how accepting the school is and how safe the girls feel, which are good things.
It’s definitely worth a visit if you are looking for strong academics in an all girls setting. [/quote]
