[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can families speak more to what they mean about GDS being more fun? I feel like I see a lot of folks describe it that way on DCUM but it could mean a lot of things.[/quote] Probably best to come from a family with kids at both schools (and there are more than few), but my kid is at GDS and they have a bunch of friends at Sidwell, so they compare notes. If those notes are to be believed, Sidwell has a more traditional feel, and apparently stricter with rules. GDS has a looser environment - rules, relationships with teachers, relationships with administrators, etc.. The kids at GDS can be very ambitious and hard working, and they are aware of how their classmates are doing (academics, awards, extracurriculars), but it is not a competitive environment, at least not overtly. Who knows whether that makes GDS more "fun," and those two schools are far more similar than they are different. [/quote]
