[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Though 80% of kids got on to NCS/STA. While many of those families prefer that, it is not that easy to get into the other similar peer schools and many kids don't. Theye do a good job guiding folks through, but just know that it is definitely not a sure bet.[/quote]

In my experience, having been a parent at Beauvoir for 9 years (3 kids, 1 current) this has not been the case. Kids go on to other top private schools if they do not choose STA/NCS. The outplacement at Beauvoir is excellent and they communicate with the schools on your behalf.

For one of our kids we had a choice between Beauvoir and sidwell. We chose Beauvoir because, FOR US, nothing beats their early education experience and we figure there's a pretty good chance of getting into Sidwell in 4th grade. We all, parents and kids alike, love Beauvoir.

My daughter who is currently there says its her favorite thing in all the world and this echoes what the 2 who went before her felt.[/quote]

Glad to know I'm not the only one who would choose Beauvoir over Sidwell (if we were so lucky as to get into both). When I tell people that I get the raised brow and "are you crazy?" look. I love the idea of being at a school that focuses on and puts all of its resources into the early years. We really hope we get in! We've been racking our brains trying to figure out of all the spots they technically have how many have already been accounted for with sibling preferences and legacies, so we can get a better picture of our actual chances.
