[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am going to respectfully disagree with the poster who said:
They are, in order of academioc rigor: NCS, Holton, SR, Madeira.

Madeira's academics are rigorous and challenging. If it is number of AP classes you want then perhaps NCS is where you want to go. If you want your daughter to be achieve rigor while having a healthy high school experience I would consider Madeira. It is wise to visit all the schools in the area, speak with the students. As current students what their experience is like? When do they go to sleep at night? What do they typically do on weekends? Do they have downtime? My DD is at Madeira and will graduate with eight AP classes under her belt. That said, she gets sleep, fun with friends and time for herself.[/quote]

AP classes are for public schools.  The best privates are steadily doing away with them as their own curriculum based honors classes are better and more rigorous.  NCS is part of that trend.  And the top colleges are ceasing to accept AP credit.  AP just means your kid followed a book - a very prescribed curriculum wit one forcus - scoring well on the AP exam.  AP classes are not a sign of a top high school or top student.
