[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If what you want is co-ed, Episcopal, friendly community, rigorous curriculum without the burnout culture, then WES is great.  But it's over in 8th.

My advice is to get all that at St. Andrew's and then avoid the Upper School admissions process by staying through 12th. SAES has a MUCH nicer campus, more competitive sports, great college placement, amazing teachers, slightly larger MS but still small, and there's are two different bus routes within a couple of minutes of WES.

Just to clarify: WES is a great school to choose if you're looking for an easy-going place for your child in Middle School.  It is NOT rigorous (except for the MS Science program and some MS Math classes.) Students mostly go to St. Andrews, Bullis, Holy Child, and schools of similar academic strength - or to public schools.  In recent years, there have been very few students going to Sidwell, GDS, STA, or NCS.  Which is fine for most of the families at WES, who don't want those types of schools for their children.  They want a more relaxed, fun environment with trips. [/quote]

Interesting. I don't think anyone would think to call Beauvoir rigorous yet they almost all go to STA/NCS?[/quote]

Beauvoir has a relationship with NCS/St Albans though. WES doesn’t. [/quote]
