[quote=Anonymous]"The basic question of Sidwell vs. Prep seems to me to suggest a very low level of understanding of private school alternatives here in the DMV."

Wrong.  I have had kids in both schools and they are the two I prefer out of the privates in DC/Maryland for this reason: they both emphasize development of the whole student.  Sidwell does this and believe it or not Quaker principles make a difference... the kids are very respectful of each other and the economic differences of the students makes very little difference socially.  Prep does it through Jesuit philosophy and Catholic principles and kids are very respectful of each other and the economic differences in the status of the students makes very little difference socially. I would never send a kid to STA/NCS or Landon  and Bullis would be a stretch for me.  When i visited those schools I felt like a FA student would not fit in well, and that there were no set of basic values that underpinned the academic programs.  I also visited Gonzaga, which I liked and Burke, which was a little too unstructured for my personal preference.  I don't understand why you think Prep and Sidwell have nothing in common, most religions have basic principles in common.
