[quote=Anonymous]17:27 As a parent of a Burgundy grad, I can attest that it is NOT true that students don't write essays and papers. In fact, there is extensive, developmentally appropriate writing throughout the lower school years that ramps up considerably during middle school. From our friends with children at the lower and middle schools at K-12 indepents like Sidwell, GDS, Beauvoir, Maret, etc., the writing and social studies demands/expectations are pretty similar. Our DC is now at UVA along with about a half dozen Burgundy classmates and DC's class of 25 has students at Chicago, Princeton, Amherst, Columbia, Oxford, Pomona, and Vasser. They were perfectly well-prepared for demanding high schools, did well and ended up at fine colleges. [/quote]
