[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GDS vs Beauvoir for Pre K?[/quote]

Both are great schools! Congratulations! Depends on where you and your child will fit in and be happiest. [b]GDS is a good school but really really liberal and the kids there tend to be more artsy etc[/b]... Not really for athletic types whereas Beauvoir is a ittle more well-rounded and almost any kind of child can fit in there. As I said, both have great curriculums and reputations etc... but the cultures of the school are totally different. Also Beauvoir is not just for Waspy types - it is actually really diverse and also I know many liberals that go there as well so it is not just for Republicans. Although it is a more "traditional" school than GDS but at the same time progressive in its teaching style. Best of luck to you on your decision! [/quote]

This is a good post, and the fact that GDS is really really liberal is something important to consider.  I'm not knocking it; GDS is a great school, and I know several families with kids there who love it and who are very comfortable with the community and it is the perfect fit.  But I also feel that some people apply there simply because it is part of the "Big Three," get in, and end up sending their kid there without really "getting" the school before enrolling.  Often it still works out, but I also know of several instances where it has gone badly.  Bottom line in my view is know what you are signing up for, and be sure you are comfortable with it.[/quote]
