NCS is stressful for some girls and not stressful at all for others.

Fit is very important for this school. [/quote]

Can you elaborate on this? What makes it stressful for some? [/quote]

The level of academics is a great fit for some and a very poor fit for others.  If your daughter enjoys learning and working very hard--3 hours of homework a night---GREAT fit.  I'm not being sarcastic.  
This is a dream school for this type of girls. 
For others, it's a poor fit.  There are easier schools.

It's not about intelligence--it's about diligence and being the kind of kid who just likes to study, study, study.  They exist and they thrive at NCS.

I have two daughters. One is absolutely thriving at NCS (high school).  She gets straight As.  She enjoys learning for learning's sake. 
We are sending our second daughter to a different school.  She needs more down time.  [/quote]

My DD is not like this even though she is academically gifted, she hates school work and gets stressed easily. She also suffers with anxiety and depression - having to rethink our choices for HS.

Good for you that you're able to indentify your daughter's needs early. I have friends whose daughters are already in HS, two different notoriously challenging schools, and the wheels are popping off the bus. It's so hard to move these kids when their social lives are established and going well, but the academics are a killer and triggering anxiety/depression.[/quote]
