[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brearley has changed focus in the past five years and has had a lot of staff and faculty and admin turnover. It used to be a one woman shop in admissions, but she and her long term assistant left during admin turnover last year. It no longer is a traditional liberal arts curriculum and is one of the few schools that hasn’t walked back from 2020 but has instead dug down into reading articles instead of books, filling out worksheets about feelings, etc. The new head comes very much from this world, so just be aware and read the actual curriculum instead of listening to what the old guard says about itself. I will be glad when my daughter graduates in a year or two that we got out now. Have not been happy with the direction of the school — most parents aren’t either but no one says anything.

Why did the long-standing admissions head leave? [/quote]

She retired.  As did the head of school, which was planned for a long time.  One had nothing to do with the other, so "admin turnover" is an odd way to put it.  Frankly, I am not sure what this poster is talking about with the entirety of that post.  And my daughter is in the upper school like this poster's apparently is, and she reads plenty of books and poetry and so on, so I have no idea what that means either.[/quote]
