[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^and to add — there are plenty of girls you happily thrive in a grindstone environment like NCS. I was not one of them. It’s important to know your kid. [/quote] This is the important part. NCS has had this reputation for decades, as long as I can remember. It's a school for a particular type of student who responds well to academic rigor. Many parents are drawn to the school's reputation as being an academic powerhouse, and yet complain about how much of a grind it is for their DD. For most students, it comes down to whether or not the school is a good fit. The same can be said for Sidwell and GDS, among other peer schools. Just do a search on this discussion board and you'll see similar posts complaining about the rigor of these schools. Again, most parents like the reputations of the school, but some don't like it when they see first-hand the work students to to earn this reputation.[/quote]
