[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]We wanted an excellent school by any standard (national or international) [/b]motivated by our children’s ambitions and needs, but only looked at co-ed schools (there are several reasons many families a priori decide against or in favor of non-co-ed schooling) and knew we didn’t want to board. [b]SFS was an obvious choice[/b] and the only school we applied to as the result.

No regrets at all. An excellent school and a welcoming community. Overall, we think all the schools need to dial sharply down on homework and up on creativity and unstructured, free time, but that’s not an SFS-specific issue. If anything, the issue is driven by a majority of parents who appear to be single-mindedly focused on a very narrow vision of success which is not necessarily borne out by the current science or long-term measures of success and happiness.

Delusional because SFS is not known nationality or internationally.[/quote]

NP. But really?! Sour grapes much? 
Maybe you don’t get around much? It’s ok. V contagious out there. [/quote]
It's obvious you don't get around much if you think SFS is internationally known.[/quote]

The Times (a London daily newspaper) headline about SFS: “The most elite school in the world (no, it’s not Eton)”.

Just to be fair and balanced, I googled GDS and MoCo schools on the Times website. Nothing.

This debate doesn’t even concern me, but it was so dumb and counterintuitive that I couldn’t resist checking :-)  go on give me more alternative facts [/quote]
LOL.
A global ranking lists Tsinghua University, University of Singapore or the Ohio State University, do you think these are internationally known Universities?[/quote]

It is a gossipy London magazine’s edition from Hong Kong that definitely does not list these Unis. The point was that it captures the zeitgeist and that Sidwell is internationally known. I’ve no idea what global ranking you are reading or why you feel the need to claim no one abroad knows what Sidwell is. It’s silly and pointless. [/quote]
