[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family looked at both Norwood and St. Andrews. We fell in love with both schools. Ultimately, we choose Norwood - for may reasons, but one was that we would have to reassess our children for high school. Being at one school for K-12 is really long. Today, also, most students that enter in K don't stay through 12. The number of students in each grade at Norwood was another pull. There are many more students (but small classroom ratios) which opens the door to many kinds of friendship. As you are coming from another country, my only advice to you is to take this site with a grain of salt. There are many people who post false information and make statements to rile people up. Explore both schools closely and follow your gut. You can't go wrong. Just depends on what you ultimately want. If you choose Norwood, welcome to the community![/quote]

Thank you for the information. 
I guess my ultimate goal is to prepare my children for a good high school and a good college eventually.

But what does good mean to you? What skills do you think are crucial to that preparation? For example, people may disagree about the role of social emotional support or the role of homework or whether education should be more student or teacher directed. I don't know anything about either school, but thinking about how you define good may help you evaluate them. [/quote]

Good meaning ivy league schools (wishful thinking:))
But of course the emphasis on sports and arts are also very important.[/quote]
