[quote=Anonymous]My US SFS students started at the school in MS and are in US now. They are both impressed with the "quality" (wrong word but don't have time to think of another) of students who enter SFS in 9th grade. They are the true achievers and are the ones who spur on the lifers and the kids who started in the earlier years.

Both immediately became friends with new 9th graders and found them to be great additions to the classes - sportswise, arts wise and other ECs, and in academics.

OP, your child would not have gotten in if the SFS admissions team had not known that they can handle the work. Presumably, you want your child at a school with a rigorous environment, or you wouldn't have applied there. Personally, I hate the word "joyful," as it is meaningless word with too many interpretations. Kids do not skip through the halls singing, if that is what you're looking for.

It's school. There will be hard days and there will be fantastic days; most days are in the middle. My kids love Sidwell and we've loved the community, (most of) the teachers and what the experience has done for them.

If you have an offer, take it. [/quote]
