[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP and I'm a huge fan of all -girls environments as I went to one for high school. But does Holton have any kids that need social supports like this?  My DD is really bright, sweet, super engaged, but I don't want to downplay, the downsides -- I've heard Holton is super competitive. An intense, pressure filled environment would not be good for her.

The girl I met goes to a social skills group outside school.  For that age, I would highly recommend the PEERs program run by Dr Black and/or the unstuck and on target program run by Ivymount Outreach.

The all girls' school I attended was highly academic but the other side of it was that status also came from doing well academically and made up for deficiencies in other areas.

Unless you are looking at SN schools or a public school with IEP, you are not going to find any social supports at school.  If what your DD needs is small class size and a nurturing environment, you should look at Field.[/quote]
