[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell is more diverse and the social scene in more fluid.  There are many boy-girl best friends.  In US the kids form several groups of friends based on their interests and EC activities, and these may shift as the kids mature, but all the kids know each other and seem to respect each other.  New comers are welcomed because everyone likes to meet new people.  In middle school there is some drama over who goes to whose parties, etc., but by US this is done.  The kids support each other because they all feel academic stress.

I know NCS less well, but my impression is the girls form lasting friendships in middle school and 9th grade and these  tend to stay ion place. One of my friend's daughter's told me "It takes a lot of work to be popular."  I don't get that sense at Sidwell.  The academic work is equally stressful at both schools.[/quote]

I once had a Sidwell teanager say this to me," well, a big difference I see is that ( at Cathedral ) they seem to be able to repeat what they have read, but without much introspection , whereas everyone I know at Sidwell is very introspective  and really thinks about what they are saying "

Had to laugh.....
