[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at Madeira. [/quote] +1 Not that I would call Madeira a finishing school, but it’s strong academically while also instilling a lot of “soft skills” like public speaking and helping girls present themselves with confidence and poise. And it might help your DD find something she’s really interested in. One thing to be aware of for applications to any private school is that they want to hear from kids about their interests and passions, whether that’s an academic subject, sports, music, art, theatre, coding, baking, saving the environment—whatever, they are looking for something that shows this kid has a spark for something. If your daughter truly doesn’t have that, figure out how to spin what she has dabbled in and have her practice answering questions about hobbies or interests so she has something to say in her interviews.
