[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] Lots of community-building events and activities, more relaxed relationship between kids, teachers and admin, and the overall vibe is not as rigorously competitive or serious. Kids can come and go as they please as long as they're in class on time and complete their assignments. They hang out in the common areas (some like it's a second home) even after the school day. While GDS is a top school, it's not considered the #1 most highly-regarded school in DC so they don't have the same pressure that comes with maintaining that kind of reputation. [/quote]
