[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am an NPS parent so biased there, because we love the school. However, I will say this - if you want, or think you want, the Cathedral schools for your kid(s), it will never be as easy to get in as it is right now, this year, when you are making a decision about Beauvoir. NCS/ STA will almost certainly take your kid in 4th grade from Beauvoir, unless there is a compelling reason for them not to. You will never have it that easy again.

I agree that 3rd grade is too early to decide about single-sex, but that's the way it works.

NPS, STP and all the others do get kids into the Cathedral schools, of course - BUT - it's much more difficult and there are many more than are turned away than admitted. Kids that get into the Cathedral schools non-Beauvoir almost always have a connection of some sort. You would be surprised at how many legacy kids are running around, and there are others who will have the social/ business connections to get their kids in. If your kid is not a superstar athlete or stellar academic or some other outstanding, desirable trait, it will be a difficult admit from NPS in the future without a connection. Your kid will be competing with classmates for those very few spots.

I know how hard it is to think ahead this far, but this is really what it comes down to. NPS is a fantastic place and I assume Beauvoir is as well. You can't go wrong with either school in the present, so try to give thought to what you want for the future.[/quote]
