[quote=Anonymous] Former Beauvoir parent here. OP, did you know that the current Beauvoir Head ( retrning after 20 years this year) and the former GDS Head( retired a few years ago after 30 years at GDS) are married and have been for 15 or 20 years. Also, did you know that every year about 3 or 4 kids from B 3rd garde go on to GDS and that soem B faculty kids attend there.

Are there major differences, yes. To name a few: GDS is in your face liberal and lacks diversity in that regard ( same could be said of Sidwell or Maret) Beauvoir on the other hand has about a 70/30 blend in favor of more liberal views, but just enough balance to look like teh real world. People tend to try to make firends and keep personal views to themselves, valuing the friendships above all else. That kind of civility is really nice, and increasingly rare in this town.

Second the physical plants are very different: Beauvoir is set on 70 acres and includes a woods, a green house, a new play ground and GDS is well, surrounded by a cement parking lot and sits behind an apartment complex.

Beauvoir has a moral curriculum empahsising being part of a community. GDS seems to teach kids to stand up and fight injustice , which seems to be found under every rock and blade of grass. I suppose ther are worse options.[/quote]
