[quote=Anonymous]We have had a positive experience as NCS parents, even though we did not come from Beauvoir. Overall, the academics in the Lower and Middle Schools offer a good balance of rigor and workload.

In the Lower School (grades 4–6), there is minimal homework, which I believe creates a healthier environment for that age group. The Middle School generally has a manageable flow of homework, though it can occasionally feel unnecessarily heavy. This can be a challenge for students balancing intensive extracurricular activities who have limited time in the afternoon; at least they can qualify for independent practice, which helps.

Regarding the student body, while I initially expected everyone to be exceptionally prepared (especially those coming from Beauvoir), we have found a wide variety of academic levels, which is typical for any school. Honestly, I'm surprised that some Beauvoir students are still at NCS. Additionally, since Beauvoir students tend to stick together, you should find that transition to be quite smooth.[/quote]
