[quote=Anonymous]A comment in a recent thread describing Field as a school that allows kids to thrive "without the pressure cooker atmosphere" caught my eye. See: http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/quote/0/5707613.page What other upper schools allow kids to challenge themselves intellectually without burning out/scaring them to death? I have a kid who is academically gifted but gets very anxious and depressed in high pressure, high stress environments. Open to boys schools although would prefer co-ed. Similarly, are there schools to AVOID for this same reason? Schools that may be a fit for DS seem to be all over the map: Sidwell, Georgetown Prep, St. Andrew's, Bullis, Potomac, Landon, Field, Burke, Maret, and St. Alban's. [/quote]
