[quote=Anonymous]Just to offer a different opinion here. I toured both Aidan and Franklin and really expected to like Franklin based on what I had read on this site and I was completely turned off. Georgia Irvin's (v. expensive independent consultant) services were mentioned several times as the means by which the "graduates" of Aidan were aided in "the ordeal of applying to independent schools" in DC (the director's words). On and on about "how well prepared" their graduates were - as if we were takling about a high school. And the parents on the tour were the worst part - VERY snotty and agressive in the Q and A. The director also mentioned several times that most of the families have nannies and I left the tour at dismissal to see a line of nannies there to pick up the kids. Honestly I felt like I was on candid camera - it was so bizarre. I had a much more positive impression at the Aidan Open House but have not interviewed at either school. [/quote]
