[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]

I kind of agree. *shrug*[/quote]

+1. "Everyone gets a trophy!"[/quote]

You obviously know nothing about Beauvoir.

There are no trophies, which I think it a good thing. Kids learn to appreciate and value qualities like kindness and being a good friend.

One of my children is highly gifted, and he had no idea until he entered STA, where there is greater emphasis on grades and a more competitive environment.

Bvr also does a great job of meeting students where they are--all students develop a love of reading, but teachers will make sure each kid is getting books that are at their reading level so kids neither feel bored nor overwhelmed, depending.

As for outplacement, we went in not sure about ncs/sta, but that ended up being a good path for our kids. The bvr pipeline is valuable there; sta especially is very hard--very, very hard--to get into, ever. No guarantees from anywhere, even bvr, but bvr is the likeliest path unless you are the legacy kid of a big donor. Even then nothing is 100 percent.

We have been happy with the education both at bvr and sta/ncs for our kids. [/quote]
