[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which other TT are like Dalton?  Is Dalton unique among TT?[/quote]

I have no connection to it, but St. Ann’s is supposedly more progressive than Dalton, which I do know well. Dalton’s tends towards individual learning, more self-instruction so students can follow the things they’re interested in more closely, which isn’t to say it sacrifices other subjects.

Personally, if I could go back, I think I would have chosen Dalton over Trinity (where I went until sophomore year when I transferred to Andover). I may have stayed in NYC for high school. Trinity is far more traditional in terms of curriculum requirements, but to say that Dalton is easier is untrue. Once high school starts, they’re both pressure cookers, just in different ways. My siblings got spectacular attention and Dalton - they truly nurtured and supported their passions and they loved it there. My brother’s son starts kindergarten there next year.

If you do exceptionally well in either school - incredibly difficult given the sheer quality of students - odds literally are you’ll get into a t-15 school.[/quote]
