[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She wants to be happy.  She wants a school where the students are friendly and respectful to each other.  She's always been a "gamma girl" -- moving among different crowds and trying to be on good terms with everyone.  Academically, she is a fantastic writer, so opportunities for creative writing are important.  She's also interested in issues affecting girls around the world (access to education, preventing child marriage and trafficking, etc.), and she's looking for opportunities for leadership in that area.  She's recently started playing lacrosse, so I imagine that she'll want to play in a reasonably non-competitive, entry-level environment.  Hope that helps.  [/quote]

She sounds a lot like most Holton girls I know!  My DD is a writer too and in the upper school.  There is a creative writing magazine that is award winning and they have an annual event called Coffeehouse where students can present their original work in the blackbox theater and it's really a special thing.  The part about knowing more about issues impacting girls around the world is a BIG part of Holton and their Global Scholars program.  Go on the website and take a look at it.  You can also have your daughter read the blogs from the past few years of girls who've taken these trips - and if you're on financial aid it can help cover the cost of these global journeys.

In terms of college placement, she will be in amazing hands at Holton.  If you could see the Naviance data you wouldn't hesitate.

For the vibe and cliques, I think there is something for everyone.  My DD is artsy and laid back and she loves it but there are lots of type A girls who obsess over grades and others who are very social and sporty - but everyone seems to respect each other in the high school.[/quote]
