[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very little difference socially btw Gilman and Calvert - they really draw from same crowds. We actually know plenty of pp with kids at both. Calvert is the most structured of the schools. Gilman takes a more developmental approach - meeting kids where they are academically but that does make it somewhat less structured. [b]Friends is actually pretty structured as well but I would not put a kid who will be at the top of his class there [/b]For lower school(BTDT with bad results). Calvert does have tge K-8 advantage and co Ed, which I think is impt if there aren't sisters in the picture.  Most of those boys end up at Gilman. We love Gilman for our boys but couldn't even imagine applying to Calvert for them - much too structured. [/quote]

Friends parent again. I am deeply offended by this completely ignorant comment! Do you have some axe to grind? Was your child kicked out of Friends for academic failure?

My children are going to Ivies or the equivalent. DH and I went to Ivies. We know what a top student needs, and Friends provides it in spades. Lots of Friends kids get into the very best colleges! Outrageous that you should spread such uninformed misinformation about a great school!

OP, choose the school that best fits your child, but do not make your choice based on the incorrect information on an anonymous forum from person who clearly knows nothing about Friends!
