[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was wondering if folks with experience at either/both schools would like to weigh in.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.[/quote]

1. Less structured teaching/classroom environment;
2. No high school cafeteria/lunch program;
3. CCO restricts the number of college applications to 12; 
4. No AP courses offered, and the AP exam is NOT administered on campus; and
5. Founded as a racially integrated school in 1945 (on the right side of history).

1. More structured/traditional teaching and classroom environment;
2. High school cafeteria (lunch included in tuition cost);
3. CCO does NOT restrict students’ college applications; 
4. No AP courses offered, however, the AP exam is administered on campus; and
5. Founded in 1883 and racially segregated until 1956 (NOT on the right side of history). [/quote]

I would add to this that Sidwell has an open campus and many students go out for lunch. So unless you have clear expectations with your child, you could end up paying for lunch anyway.[/quote]
