[quote=Anonymous]NPS is a wonderful and warm school. We ended up choosing a different school (because we were offered more in financial aid). The things I appreciated about the admissions process and the people I met was:

1. They really adapted families where both parents work. Not all schools made those accommodations but NPS did. Making sure there are supports for families where both parents work is very important to achieving income and racial diversity. There are lots of barriers out there to achieving diversity and one big barrier is adaptive a place is to families that are living in different circumstances than say the typical NW DC private school family.

2. We ended up not applying to St. Pats, but I found the tour and the ambiance to be very homogeneous and not as inclusive. This was about five years ago and it sounds like things have changed.

3. You have to go and look at these schools on your own to see what works best your your family. You can get input from DCUrbanMom, but you really have to see these places for yourself and understand what works best for your child and your family. [/quote]
