[quote=Anonymous]The NCS girls my daughter knows are happy kids who know what they want and go for it. The Sidwell girls she knows are much more anxious and concerned about where they rank. Both sets of girls are smart, do well in classes, participate in sports. Most also have some other (usually arts-related interest). Strong STEM students in both groups (even though that's not how DD met them). Interesting to me because the NCS alumnae I know who are closer to my age both said that while they got a great education at NCS, they would never send their daughters there because workload and standards were oppressive. (Both women are successful in high-powered careers and neither complains about job-related pressure/stress.) My guess is that NCS has changed.[/quote]
