[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How important is the K-8 model to you? That’s the real decision here. If I had to pick among those three I’d choose Beauvoir because I’d weigh the better outplacement options higher than the K-8 model. [/quote] Better how? Outplacement in 3rd? Much rather my child go through that process at 8th. They know themselves and their needs better. They are closer to college, and that experience in 8th will prepare them better. [/quote] Talk to some parents who have been through it before you conclude that. 8th grade exmissions is extremely competitive and the transition to high school can make 9th a lonely and hard year. It works fine for some kids, but it's very easy to gloss over what it will be like when you're an incoming K parent.[/quote] This is precisely why it’s important to do it in 8th—because they will know themselves and what is important to them far better for choosing a college.
