[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know many great families at Fieldston. But when looking at schools last year we found that there was a lot of performative wokeness there (I am a strongly anti-Trump Democrat but relatively moderate). We felt like they spent most of their time talking about DEI and the like rather than core academics and critical thinking.

I think it is primarily by the administration and not fully embraced by the students and parents, but it is definitely at least part of the DNA.

We did not consider Packer (we are happy where we are but part of me wishes we had explored Packer more) but I know one family there that ruled out Fieldston and several other schools for similar reasons. They are very happy at Packer.

My child needs a very traditional education and Fieldston was not this, so that was the primary reason we did not apply, more so than politics, but the politics are important to consider.

That said, the campus at Fieldston is great, exmissions are very good, and, as I mentioned, I like a lot of parents and kids there.[/quote]

This is very consistent with what I have heard from few other parents. I do think Fieldston is very popular, definitely more than Packer. But I couldn't differentiate so far on the academics.[/quote]
