[quote=Anonymous]Why are people so mean on this thread, lol?

Anyway, can’t compare because my kids went to NPS not BVR.  We (parents and kids) really liked NPS - we found the teachers to be warm and excellent at their jobs, particularly the long- time faculty members.  We also liked that outplacement seemed to happen to many different schools.  My son ended up at St Albans but I appreciated that it was not predetermined.  I also appreciated he had two separate school experiences rather than staying on the close all 12 years.  Finally, I like 7th grade as an entry.  Being at NPS allowed us to delay things like cell phones and also gave my kid two years to learn a new school before high school.

It is small so can have classes that vibe together better than others.  But since it ends in 6th, small worked for my kids (they benefited from that environment but happy to move on in 7th grade).  I also have to say, if I am being candid, happy to have paid a lower price tag than the cost of upper school (BVR may be same, don’t know).

I know of many families who loved BVR too.  I am sure your kid could be happy at either.  Good luck![/quote]
