[quote=Anonymous]We are thinking about applying to Sidwell for Kindergarten. We honestly do not care about prestige. We simply want a great, academically challenging and individually focused education. I hesitate even to apply, and realize the chances of getting in (we aren't high profile or rich, and no legacy) are slim. Nonetheless, we have as good a chance of getting in as anyone else with those facts, so wouldn't count it out. But is the lower school really better than the lower profile schools? Does the pressure cooker atmosphere of the Upper School trickle down to the Lower School? Our DC is very bright, but I am not interested in fostering competition at the elementary level. Also, would people describe it as a nurturing atmosphere for the early grades? (We are applying to several other schools, of course.) Thanks.[/quote]
