[quote=Anonymous]Two great schools.  You cannot go wrong.  Our kids go to Eaton, and we love it, but I bet I would say the same thing if my kids went to Hearst.  Here is what I love the most about Eaton:

-It has a top-notch teaching roster, led by a well-loved administration.

-Music and arts are very impressive.  The two new music teachers put on a winter concert with the kids, and it was spectacular.

-A hard-working and enthusiastic parent organization.  They work to raise a lot of money for fantastic extras at the school, and they know how to get down at the auction.

-A truly international student body.  There are kids from all 8 wards of the city, including lots of children of World Bank and embassy parents.

In terms of Hardy vs. Deal, I think that both are good schools.  Our children will still have the choice to attend either when they graduate from Eaton, and we have not made a firm decision on where they will go.  Hardy causes a lot of controversy on this site, but if middle school is a factor in your decision of which elementary school to choose, it couldn't hurt to attend open houses (I know, it sounds silly for 1st grade).

Good luck with your decision, and if you decide to go to Eaton, please reach out to the HSA.  We would love to welcome you to the community.[/quote]
