[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve known families that are happy at Columbia Grammar.  I would choose Avenues over Columbia! Avenues academics are more rigorous and the parent community at Avenues is lovely.[/quote]

Best friend’s family had two kids in avenues (anecdotal, sorry). They loathed it. Pulled their kids after their two favorite teachers left, who mentioned the education seemed to be profit first, experience second. One starts at st. B’’s next year, the other is going to lycee francais. I talked to her last week, and she said how thankful they are to manage to find spots elsewhere.

So take that for what it’s worth. [/quote]

It completely depends on the individual class experience and the child.   Some Avenues families that have switched to schools that are not top tier found the academics to be lacking at some schools that are considered 2nd tier like Fieldston, St. Luke’s, Poly Prep, Nightingale, VCS.   I think Avenues is solidly a very good 2nd tier school.  [/quote]
