[quote=Anonymous]McLean offers real academic flexibility (rigor and support) to make sure quirky kids really work to their potential. There are a lot of kids at McLean who might be considered awkward at a mainstream private. The social atmosphere is accepting of all kinds of difference. At St. Andrew's the faculty supports kindness to kids who are quirky, and they are truly proactive about letting the kids know they are expected to be kind and accepting. The middle school head is great about this. But most of the kids at St. Andrew's are socially mainstream, and outside of school, make and maintain their own friendships. It sounds like your daughter will do well academically anywhere, but you would like her to have nice friends. She'll have a bigger field to choose from at St. Andrew's than McLean, but may find most of the girls sophisticated in a mainstream way. McLean would have a smaller group from which to find her own circle. Don't know if this helps. Good luck![/quote]
