Current parent, kid just about to start in upper school and we’ve been there since kindergarten. When we toured it felt very formal and compared to Dalton from an admissions standpoint. That has overwhelmingly not been our experience.

The school has been warm and thoughtful and the teachers and community are amazing. We’ve made great friends (as have our kids). Middle school has been completely transformed by current leadership and my kid loves school and while things are competitive, isn’t a stress case. Homework is wildly manageable. Could they be the right type of kid for this experience? Sure. Could I have predicted that at age 5? Definitely not. We made a leap and (knock on wood) landed on solid ground. We are very happy and extremely grateful. Just a current parents viewpoint![/quote]
Thanks, this is helpful!  Would you say there is still any tension or hierarchy around class/social status?  We are a low-income artistic immigrant family (though well-educated), so that would be a significant concern.[/quote]

Not that we’ve experienced or that I’ve heard about.[/quote]
