[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if outplacement to STA/NCS wasn’t in play, how do the schools compare academically?[/quote]

Academically, I would take NPS any day. BVR is too soft on kids, IMO.[/quote]

That’s a very ignorant statement. Beauvoir is one of the few schools in the area that follows a developmentally appropriate curriculum. Young kids’ brains are not built for drill and kill. It’s a good way to make learning stressful and anxiety-ridden - one of the many reasons kids have so much academic anxiety these days.

I sent three children to Beauvoir, with very different personalities. They all thrived there. Beauvoir respects childhood and developmental stages, and gives kids a strong conceptual grounding through experiential learning. That’s what many call being too soft on kids. I’ll take it any day.

My DD went to Sidwell and DSes to STA. They all excel academically.[/quote]

You said "one of the few schools". So what are the other schools that follow such curriculums? [/quote]

Lowell, Sheridan, Washington Waldorf. [/quote]

You think Beauvoir's curriculum is similar to these progressive schools?![/quote]
