[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of two boys at GCS, HoCo resident. [b]Would say completely the opposite of conservative and snobby, especially compared to Baltimore schools[/b]. Being in HoCo GCS is weirdly situated between the DC and Baltimore worlds, and very much reflects Columbia's/HoCo's diversity. Over half of students identify as non-white. The school is still small enough that kids get really individualized attention...my sons are both middle-of-the-pack so they'd kind of be invisible in HoCo publics. 
I see them as a college prep school but they manage to do things a little differently. It has seemed like they are working on branding/developing more of an identity post-pandemic with a slogan "independent thought, shared purpose." We've been very happy. Plus the campus is absolutely beautiful![/quote]

Hmm, I don’t know why you think Baltimore private schools are conservative and not diverse. My kid goes to Bryn Mawr and it’s extremely liberal and over 1/2 of the students are not white. [/quote]

Right?! I think the only one that could mildly be accused of being snobby is NDP and even that is a stretch/dependent on the year. Most Baltimore private schools are super laid back and down to earth.

Also my first job was working in the school uniform store and I was always tempted to buy Bryn Mar's summer uniform! It was just sooooo pretty!![/quote

I can't speak about Bryn Mar specifically but there's so many Baltimore area private schools to.love. All are diverse and without snobbery. Calvert Hall and Loyola are both wonderful. The Park School is fantastic. St.Pauls is another great school and so many more. ][/quote]
