[quote=Anonymous]I'm gonna try that whole post again:

I realize this post is years old, but Browne? I think that makes sense if you're traditional, in which case you probably wouldn't be looking at Burgundy anyway. As a parent of a Burgundy alum who is now out of college, I saw a lot of pros and cons, particularly at the middle school, where my child graduated in 2017. I did think the grading was very harsh and oh my gosh Jason was poorly equipped to be middle school head and was a sad contrast to Nancy who preceded him. I have friends whose kids have been through the school more recently and they loved the middle school.

I looked into Browne when I was first considering schools and just thought it was a completely different choice. It's very conventional, focused on a straight line progression. You have to know your child. I knew my child woukd be climbing the walls at Browne. Then walk into Burgundy, where all the classrooms are bright and spacious and where the kids are encouraged to be outdoors just as much as they're indoors... That was the perfect environment for my child, who went on to do extremely well in high school, and to really excel in college.

It's really not a knock on Browne. It's about what you value in your child's education and who your child is. Browne would've been a really hard fit for my kid, and my kid had friends who would have struggled to make sense of how things worked at Burgundy. It's not for everyone and that's why there are lots of schools to choose from.
