[quote=Anonymous]NCS is more religious, less diverse, has a reputation of being the "mean girls" although that is opinion based.  They have more affiliations with STA than Holton does with Landon.  I think Holton has more STEM and NCS has more English/Art.  I think the sports are equal with various teams doing well.  Holton wins swimming and ice hockey almost ever single year. I don't think NCS has a hockey team.  I think NCS is better at Lacrosse and soccer. Holton has an indoor pool.  Their sports facilities are nice but NCS's new athletic facility is beautiful - top notch.  That said, it is off the school and you must walk outside and there is really no parking. Total pain for sports games.  NCS offers Greek and Japanese in upper and I don't think Holton does.  They both offer the same languages in middle (Ch, Sp, Lat, Fre) but Holton offers Chinese in lower school.  NCS offers only Spanish and French.  Holton has a global education and trips associated with it that everyone speaks highly of.  Lots of exchange student offerings too.  I think they both do community service although NCS is slightly more.  Holton has uniforms and NCS does not.

I think you really need to look at the grade your daughter is entering and see which one she liked more on her shadow days.  My daughter was accepted to both and Stone Ridge.  It was a tough decision.  Good Luck! [/quote]
