[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do they get great college results [/quote]

OK I'll bite- even though I am sure the OP is a Troll. 
I am a GDS parent and here is why the school has good college acceptance results:
A.  It is super hard to get into GDS in the first place- especially in middle school and the high school, the kids have really high test scores.  It is also
CRAZY challenging academically.  As an outsider you may think it is unstructured because they dress casually and call teachers by their first names but you are incorrect in terms
of the academic demands on the kids.
B.  The kids are interesting, self-motivated, diverse and mostly nice, good people.

But all that aside to the OP: I don't understand why people on this board continue to denigrate schools they know nothing about with provocative subject lines on this forum.  From your choice of words "How do THEY get great college results?" your child clearly doesn't go to GDS, so why do you care???

Coming late to this chain, but as the parent of a 9th grader who is new to the school this year, I have to second everything said by the other GDS parents in this chain.  We marvel at how the school has crazily intense academics and expectations, but also has such a supportive, warm, and fun environment.  Our DC absolutely loves everything about the school, even with intense academic demands.  It all works![/quote]
