[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am familiar with NCS and think highly of it and would not say it is more prestigious academically than GDS -- that may have been the case 25 years ago but I think both are comparable now.

NCS's strongest suit is probably the humanities and teaching writing, and GDS is definitely known for having an excellent math program in particular.  With that said, a number of NCS girls in recent years have gotten into MIT and are pursuing STEM academically, so it's not like it is discouraged.  Although NCS is smaller than GDS and thus can be expected to have fewer courses, they have the benefit of cross-registration with St. Albans for upper level math and science courses and STEM electives such as the popular Biotechnology elective.  There are also NCS girls who have undertaken independent studies in STEM subjects with St. Albans teachers.

Bottom line: two great options academically.  Thus, the co-ed vs. single sex and cultural stuff is actually important.  [/quote]

Thanks a lot for the information.  For a NCS girl who want to registered math or science course with St. albans, is it as easy as a girl in GDS taking math or science class? Will the teacher in st albans treat the girl from NCS the same as the boy in st. albans?  I guess I am afraid the attention she might get is not as much as the boys in st. albans. Thanks.[/quote]
