[quote=Anonymous]As we are waiting for admissions decisions, what are your thoughts on this, especially for boys?

On one hand, single sex allows the kids to be their authentic selves in a learning environment without trying to impress the opposite sex. I'm also really drawn to the idea that the schools are educating them, but are also (in our case) raising young men. On the other hand, especially for the more introverted kids, how do they get to know and relate to their opposite sex peers?

Obviously, they will mature a lot in the next 4 years, but I'm looking at these shy, awkward boys who have all been together since kindergarten and wondering how on earth they ever get from here to having girlfriends and prom dates. And I say that chuckling -- these are great kids, but it's hard to picture.

Interested in others' thoughts and experiences. How did you make the decision regarding single sex or co-ed high school, and how did that play out? How is the social scene as they transition into high school?[/quote]
