[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kiddo got her apps submitted to Mercersburg, EHS, and Madeira.  Decided at the last minute not to submit to St Andrews or Chatham Hall.  I LOVE the aquatic center at Mercersburg, its friendliness and their head of school.  DD loves the internship program at Madeira.  We'll shake it all out after March 10.  [/quote]

Curious - why not St. Andrew's? [/quote]

My kid also passed on St. Andrews in Delaware. The campus buildings are very clustered together and so felt claustrophobic to me and kid. Didn’t like glass walls in classrooms and it seemed to make current students distracted. Tour guide was very tense. Academics focused more on humanities than science. Formal style of school that kid saw in staff and students didn’t suit us. Finally, the school is I believe strict on what’s considered a sport for its athletic requirements. It was pretty easy to knock it off the list. Other families of course may have a totally different feeling about the school![/quote]
