[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It will be many, many years before it is complete. That's what I understood from the plans. [/quote]

GDS has a strong first mover advantage over its Big Three competitors in integrating its various divisions on a single campus.  This matters to families who don’t want to drove all over, and is more environmentally responsible.[/quote]

I’m not sure how you define “first mover” but the Cathedral schools and Maret have been on a single campus for decades or more. Nice try though. [/quote]

It’s more how one defines Big Three and consolidated divisions.  Maret is not by any stretch in the Big Three.  The “Cathedral schools” in fact are not divisions of one school but rather separate legal entities each with their own board of trustees, with separate admissions, widely separated from each other but in general proximity to the National Cathedral.  The schools not really integrated with one other.  So the point made about GDS is irrefutable.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure the prior poster meant "physically integrated." Your post is weird. Did your kid get into one of the upper schools but not Beauvoir (or vice versa)? Are you just that big a GDS booster? Otherwise, why are you being so purposely obtuse. The cathedral schools are physically integrated. Further, most kids go from Beauvoir to the cathedral schools. And while they have different heads, so do GDS and Sidwell (lower school, middle, and upper). Yes, they have different boards, but they're all under the same PECF umbrella. They also have joint meetings about PECF issues (e.g., the latest meeting about the investigation into protecting students from sexual misconduct by teachers). [/quote]
