[quote=Anonymous]We know kids/families at both and looked at both and have kids at one - and even knew one who switched from one to the other. Gds is more free flowing - open campus, a little more artsy, a little disorganized. While they call teachers by their first name, don’t let it fool you into thinking everything is free to be- the academics in high school are no joke and the middle school isn’t exactly known for preparing anyone for it. Sidwell - definitely more traditional way of teaching and curriculum. Also intense academically. A bit less flexibility in the curriculum until 12th. We felt the parents were more intense and the kids a bit more outwardly competitive. Gds is pushing a bit more joyfulness. How much that makes a difficult given intense academics is hard to say - but definitely a diff feel on the two campuses [/quote]
