[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, are they like, scrounging for applicants for next year? So not even subtle, Nysmith Admissions Lady.[/quote]
12:04 PP here, and not at all affiliated with Nysmith.  I think a lot of us are unimpressed with AAP, wish we could afford private school, and have a bit of a naive, grass-is-greener view of privates.

It is an impressive list of accomplishments, but I'm not sure how much of it is due to the school programs and how much of it is due to motivated kids and parents who were going to win things no matter where they attended school.  [/quote]

Nysmith kids need to participate in Science Fair, since 4th grade.  That is part of their science curriculum.  For 6-8, they have internal Science Fair competition, and the winners get to represent the school at George Mason competition.  Likewise, 5th-8th grades all kids participate in Geography bee, History bee and spelling bee.  This year, more than 200 students qualify for regional history bee.  So all these accomplishments are indeed affiliated/cultivated by the school.[/quote]
