[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are my observations:
- Both have excellent academics, with NCS having the edge in liberal arts (especially writing) and Holton the edge in math/science/technology.
- Holton is non-denominational; NCS is not. NCS students attend 2x weekly services in the chapel or cathedral, and MS and US curriculum include at least two theology classes (although these aren't indoctrination; they can be a study of world religions, seminar on the Middle East, etc.). 
- Holton is slightly less cut-throat than NCS. Both have a boatload of homework (2-4 hours) in HS.
- Both do a good job with diversity, but NCS has a more diverse student population. Holton is starting to trend whiter and more conservative than NCS under new admin, but numbers are still solid. 
- Holton has the edge on athletics in most sports.
- NCS interacts with STA more than Holton interacts with Landon. Depending on your child's interests, 2-3 of her classes may be co-ed junior and senior year.
- Campuses are totally different but both beautiful.
- Both have excellent outplacement.[/quote]

During the tour, I actually saw more mixed-race asian students in Holton. But maybe it is biased. [/quote]

Same. I noticed more asian american students at Holton and more black students at NCS. Not sure which school has the edge on socio-economic diversity.[/quote]
