[quote=Anonymous]To echo the PP above, Sidwell's academic intensity is what you make of it. English is challenging and rigorous for everyone, but Math and Science offer both standard and accelerated courses, which allow students to pick the classes at an appropriate speed for them. The heart of the "pressure cooker" reputation lies in the English and accelerated Math classes, which are only available by teacher recommendation and not encouraged if the student is not performing at a high level. By no means is there an expectation to take them. You noted that your DD would want to participate in theatre -- I can't speak for SR, but Sidwell's theatre program is amazing. Talented kids, faculty is dedicated and amazing, the program is well-funded, and the students who participate have a very kind, inclusive, and supportive community. In addition, the girls' sports teams here are tight-knit and rank extremely well, and your DD would find her place there 100%.[/quote]
