[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a lovely school and even more expensive than some of the other private schools in the area. If you want your child going to a top ranked college, it is not the place for you. If you don't care, then it is really fine. I knew a few kids who went there from my dd's montessori school. It had a montessori vibe to me when we looked at it. My kid almost went there but got off the waitlist to a much better school.[/quote]

They actually do send kids to top schools. One grad from last year, for example, is at Stanford. But they don't send them in the same numbers as other schools because they have a range of learners. I think they have the best college guidance counseling in the city and one thing they do is find the right school for kids. We found we got more attention during the guidance process than families I know at other schoools.

But PP is right that if you want your child to go to a top ranked school its probably not the right school for you, for cultural reasons. Unlike a lot of schools in the area, it just doesn't have parents with sharp elbows and a competitive vibe. If you're gunning for an ivy you will really stick out.[/quote]
