[quote=Anonymous]It seems there is a sentiment that Sidwell isn't as joyful as some rival independent schools... at least on this forum. There's this notion that it's a pressure cooker, kids are super competitive and it's not a particularly warm setting. But, the students we've met during on campus events for prospective and admitted students (which might be a biased sample), seem to love it and praise the environment/culture. They say it's quite collaborative and there's a lot of spirit. The teachers and administrators seem warm and friendly. Also, families we've spoken to seem really happy. And Sidwell alumni we've met are very positive about their experience. So the question is -- what's the truth? Is it, on balance, a happy place? Welcome perspectives from Sidwell families, particularly those in the Upper School. Would rather folks who don't have direct ties to the school not chime in with what "they've heard." Thank you.[/quote]
