[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to thank those that gave the experiences of their kids at the CTCL schools.  My oldest is a 9th grader but that is really helpful in thinking about  how to discuss what to look for in a college, the pressure cooker that high school and college have become and that there are lots of options.

My kids are very bright and academically successful but the race to perfection for college entrance sucks the joy out of learning and daily living sometimes.[/quote]

This is exactly why my child chose a “second tier” (in terms of USNWR rankings) school, despite getting into more selective options. She did not want to repeat the culture she had encountered at a Montgomery County “W” school.

She showed great judgement (and self knowledge), is learning a lot, adjusted well—she is thriving

I highly recommend the talk that CTCL schools give, at various high schools. Even if you never consider the schools on their list, they encourage a very healthy approach to the college search (one that emphasizes fit). I am very glad that my DC and I heard it early in our process.[/quote]
