[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DC was accepted to both. We are about 90% sure we are going to accept at Beauvoir. Is there any advice current parents (or previous) can provide? Any standout teachers in particular? Helpful administrators? Things to be cautious about or avoid? Does anyone think we are making the wrong choice and should go with GDS. Our family is a traditional family.
We aren't conservative, but we also aren't ultra liberal. We do want our DC to learn to be accepting of all people. Ultimately, we are looking for a nurturing and academically challenging environment that fosters a love a learning. We are leaning towards Beauvoir because it felt fun for children and we got a better feel for the curriculum they provide than we did when touring GDS. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.[/quote]

Congratulations on your choices. Beauvoir parent here. We have been happy at Beauvoir and for us the outplacement process has been a breeze for both of our children. Several children have gone to GDS from Beauvoir for 4th grade each year so that is always an option to apply to gds again when your child graduates Beauvoir. Good luck in your decision. [/quote]

Thanks! We are at 99% sure now we are going to accept at Beauvoir. We reached out to the psychologist who admitted the WPPSI-IV to our DC to let her know our results and to ask if she had any insight into which would be a better fit based on her observations of our DC. She said we had great options but based on what she observed she recommended Beauvoir because she believes our DC will initially do better in a structured environment. She said if we opted for GDS she would recommend we explain to the teacher our DC responds better to clear directions than directions worded as options. She said she thinks overtime that will change but for now she thinks Beauvoir would be an overall better fit. I really appreciated her candidness about her observations, so we are ready to sign the contract barring something crazy happening at the accepted parent's reception.[/quote]
