[quote=Anonymous]These school experiences will feel vastly different. The students at GDS will have a much wider range of academic abilities and interests. Students are not in a track and can select rigor by class. There are lots of clubs and leadership opportunities at GDS in all different areas as well.  There is also an emphasis on greater community involvement. 
Someone above mentioned feeling like HS is an arms race. That is mitigated at GDS as students are encouraged to really pursue all different interests and end up applying to a wide variety of colleges.  GDS also balances students' stress with a lot of fun activities through out the year. They have mini-mester experiential learning between semesters versus midterms.

If you are selecting a high school just based on wanting to attend a very rigorous STEM college, Blair is probably a more direct track to that. If you are selecting a high school for the entire experience, I would seriously consider all GDS has to offer.
