[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live downtown and casted a wide net on schools and we love them all and don't know how to narrow them down. Our top choices are Collegiate, St. Bernard's, Dalton, Friends, Grace. I know they are all different in so many ways but we love them all. Our top choice (even though long a long shot) would be Collegiate, but we worry about the commute. We cannot move due to other circumstances. Dalton seemed surprisingly down to earth. I like St. Bernard's but worry that most of the kids will want to go to boarding school after. Friends seems more academically rigorous than Grace, but love Grace's community. Friends also seems a little too wokey, but not sure. Any thoughts on these? I know they are all drastically different (all boys, co-ed, K-12, K-8), but any personal experience woudl be great![/quote]

Have you heard any feedback from any of these schools yet? If not, I would try not to get your heart set on any one of them, since realistically, your son will likely end up going where he gets in (except you might end up with a choice between the one of the downtown schools and one of the uptown schools).

Dalton and St B are about as different as you can get from an educational philosophy perpsective. Collegiate is probably somewhere in between. We have kids at Dalton and are very happy FWIW, but we also have friends who are very happy at St B and Collegiate. [/quote]
