[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Most DC private high schoolers get home by themselves either via public transit[/b] or driving once they are old enough. GDS has the least sports/PE requirements that I have heard of so maybe look there (even though it has been all but impossible to get into the last few years)[/quote]

This was not true at Sidwell.  Parents were mostly doing the driving until the kids could (and some kids didn't get licenses).

The GDS part is true - no afterschool requirement.

Sidwell's is also flexible.  You need to earn 10 points of after school athletic credits over 12 trimesters.  If you are on a JV/Varsity team after school, you earn 1.25 for the season.  It will involve daily practice to 5:30 (or longer for football) and games/meets.  But you can also fulfil by attending an after school activity (including dance, yoga, non-team tennis, ball hockey) that is often just a commitment of 45 minutes twice a week. It is also possible to be in the gym twice a week before school or during a free period. For these "twice a week" choices you earn 1 point for the season.  It works out so that if you play two team-sports (with heavier commitment) a year, you can have a third season off in every year.
