[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do not want Madeira but thanks. It’s too difficult to get to and out of our price range. We are looking for a Dc or Maryland school. We are considering public, yes. However the [b]question was where is there a school for a rising 10th grader where the kids are for the most part nice, inclusive, value friendship, value academics, probably faith based, snd the families are down to earth.

Honestly, this kind of school sounds great in theory but completely divorced from the reality that are high school girls. Even in a faith-based setting, it’s always been a toxic atmosphere, in my experience. I think for a sensitive teen, the most you can hope for is a few good friends. Also, if you haven’t read Untangled: Guiding Girls Through the Transition to Adulthood by Damour, check it out. [/quote]

There are several schools that aren’t toxic, but it is the exception. And Catholic Schools aren’t necessarily kinder. A big Public is probably the way to go, where everyone minds their own business because it’s so big.[/quote]
