That said - whether a student can get into the courses they "want" at GDS in 11th depends on space and demand.  And at Sidwell there are several math and computer science courses (typically ones taken by seniors) that the school will end up not running if not enough students want it that year....which can be a bummer if you had looked forward to taking that class since you arrived in 9th grade.

But these both can happen at any school - so be wary - a school catalog (anywhere)typically includes a large list of courses - but being in the catalog doesn't always mean your kid will get into the class (space limited) or that the class will be offered (not enough demand).

Thank you very much for your post carefully comparing the courses. One downside of small private schools is indeed the 9-12 grades not having economies of scale and not able to offer all the classes or not multiple sections and students have conflicts. Don't usually see that in the large public high schools.[/quote]
