[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child just graduated, and we are happy to be staying on the close. My child had a great experience and very nurturing and engaging education, and has strong and healthy friendships and a balanced outlook on academic work combined with a healthy lifestyle. We have no sour grapes and know many families that are moving off the close that are very pleased with their decisions and placement. However, there is a vocal minority on this board that vented their concerns and/or frustrations with the school. I will say I disagree with some of the comments on lack of academic rigor. We found the curriculum well planned, thorough, and age appropriately demanding but perhaps more tilted to reading and writing. When I compare the curriculum with many other privates school parents I think it is more demanding especially in reading and writing but likewise very comparable to the top privates in the area. Beauvoir, like all schools, is not a great fit for every single child and some families likely have a legitimate perspective on things that went poorly or could have been done better in their circumstance. Some schools promote a more dialectic feedback loop, which maybe provides another outlet for frustrations, but Beauvoir ends at third so the curriculum and socialization is very focused on promoting a positive social and educational environment for young children. I empathize with the families that found the school to be a poor fit, and see how this could be frustrating especially if you selected Beauvoir over another top school that might have been a better choice, but I think it comes down to what feels right for your family.

OP here. This is extremely helpful and exactly the type of input I was looking for.

We will also meet Beauvoir families in person at events, etc. But this helps so much. Thank you![/quote]
