[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does Burke compare with Sandy Spring Friends School? Obviously distance, but beyond that. We are equidistant.[/quote] Both are very kind. SSFS is more tranquil. The campus is rural and spread out. It's calming. Burke is urban and compact. There's an unusual energy to the place. Sports are a bigger deal at SSFS. Arts are a bigger deal at Burke. Lots of individual attention from faculty at both. [/quote] I don't know much about SSFS, but I would say that one other differentiator for Burke is the encouragement and actual use of DC as a classroom. Even through high school the teachers hop on the metro for field trips which my kid loved. A ton more out and about activities than my kid at a Big5[/quote]
