[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]17:46, you are absolutely nuts.  If I were choosing a school this year, you might single-handedly drive me away from Beauvoir.[/quote]

Right. I was basically with 17:46 until that last graph when the poster just drove right over the cliff, Thelma and Louise style.  FWIW, I infer most folks who reference "the culture" are talking about two points:  first, the single sex schools and, second, wealth and privilege.  17:46, you sanely started your post about the many families at Beauvoir, including "many high profile families."  The definition of high profile usually includes wealth, privilege, and status.

While there are some families who prefer for their kids' school to be wholly secular, I think if they were posting in these threads, they would just say/ask that.  And folks do on occasion: "How much chapel is there at NPS?"  "What role does the Episcopal Church play at St. Pat's or Beauvoir?"  "How Quaker is Sidwell?"

For OP, based on some parents I've met through my kids' school, I think there are a few out there who do come here with questions.  DC is their first born, they've lived successful lives, and they are panicked about making a mistake.  A kid can have a bad experience, but, by and large, these are all great schools and no kid's life will be ruined if they spend four years at Beauvoir, St Pat's or GDS.[/quote]
