[quote=Anonymous]Agree with others. Don't get too caught up in brands. If you are downtown, look at Grace and Friends. I am more familiar with them from the HS perspective and don't know younger grades as well but your characterization is fairly accurate. Friends on the average is slightly more academically rigorous and continues to lean woke (I am a Democrat who hates that word but it is accurate). The wokeness isn't overwhelming but the administration just won't give it up. Let's see what the new leadership does.

Grace has been trending more academic in recent years. Average kid is probably slightly less academic but if your kid is super smart they will make it work - they have honors math and science in the HS which splits out the smarter kids, and other options. So the average college there might not be as good as Friends, but they still get their fair share of kids into top schools. Head of school is incredible and the vibe is warmer (without being super touchy feely).

Lower school kids tend to be more downtown so easier for playdates, etc. Both schools absorb a decent number of new kids for upper grades (more for Grace than Friends) who come from all over.[/quote]
