[quote=Anonymous]I think you could be happy at either school but you need to be able to accept the culture of either school, which is very different. Grace is traditional; ILS is classical.  While there is religion at Grace, it's not as heavy-handed as ILS.  Grace is also a structured environment, but not so rigid. ILS is much much smaller. Grace is more diverse; ILS is extremely right-wing.  FYI; Grace is only increasing tuition for next year by $300.  It is their mission to keep the school affordable for most.   I do not agree that the curriculum at Grace is weak. Look at where their graduates are going: NCS, Maret, SSSAS, Potomac, St. Alban's, Flint Hill, St. Patrick,s, as well as ACDS, Browne and Burgundy.  The schools accept Grace kids because they know exactly what they are getting. It held in high-regard; every school has its weaknesses, for sure, but the curriculum can't be weak at GES with these types of acceptances. I think comparing these two schools is not realistic as they're not really comparable. You need to decide where the best fit is for your family and your child. They both can be good choices . . . but they're not really similar at all. [/quote]
