[quote=Anonymous]Experience at both schools. The most obvious difference is the campus. Sidwell's is just better, no debate there. GDS has a much stronger arts program and generally is more supportive of creative kids. Sidwell is much more regimented and holds all kids up to high standards. (This does create problems for some kids) At GDS, slower learners or a kid less talented in a particular subject will face a more forgiving atmosphere. In my personal experience, it meant my kid did what he could to get by. Sidwell is higher pressure but more organized as an institution. GDS parents tend to have a lot more influence - naturally because the school was founded by parents. Sidwell athletics facilities and coaching generally better with exceptions. I lean toward Sidwell in my cirucmstances. Kids who have moved from one school to the other do fine at both.[/quote]
