[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people so keen on Holton? I don't have a daughter, but anecdotally I've not great things about it. I thought NCS was the better school if you are looking for an all-girl school? Is HA like the conversative counterpart to NCS? I guess I don't understand why it would be the only school that someone is looking at? [/quote] NCS and Holton are on-par with each other, although DCUM might have you think otherwise. The largest difference is that NCS is religious and Holton is secular. NCS has a very strong emphasis on writing, Holton has a stronger science program. I personally found the music curriculum to be stronger at Holton too. And I feel NCS is a tad more conservative than Holton (I think Holton is somewhere in the middle of the spectrum). All small differences, but for those of us that live in MD and don't need to commute into DC, Holton is a great choice. And with the current state of MCPS schools, lots of us are looking to go private. [/quote]
