Clearly, you don't value a progressive curriculum.  My ranking would be:

Lowell/Sheridan
Norwood
NPS
St. Pats
WES[/quote]

These all have great things to offer, but this is a wide range. I work at another independent school that’s k-12 and have friends and former colleagues at all of these places. Here’s my assessment. Lowell and Sheridan are both diverse and progressive, and walk the walk. Lowell has the nicer campus, but Sheridan has the social emotional/whole child thing down. Kids come out of Sheridan very confident and self possessed. Norwood has solid, solid academics and great outplacement. There is not as wide a range in academic needs there as at some of the other schools. Beautiful spacious campus. St. Pat’s has a lot of the same whole child magic as Sheridan, though it’s, of course, a religious school. Much more traditional. I think most people would be comfortable there regardless of religion, and they have a strong staff. WES to me is the weak link in the group here, though for families looking for a specific curriculum and who have to move often internationally, it might provide the most consistency for them out of all these schools. I’d make a choice based on my child and my family’s needs. Visit and get a feel for them once that’s possible again. A child will get a good education at any of these, so think about commute, what kind of education you want (progressive or traditional, religious or secular, a bigger or smaller school etc) and then go from there.[/quote]

And what do you think about nps?[/quote]
