[quote=Anonymous]"The cream of the crop socially"! Now I'm terrified. :D We just happily enrolled our son in Gilman for next year, on the grounds that we love the teachers and administration, and were impressed by how content Gilman families seem to be. I was expecting the whole place to reek of old money, but it actually came off as a lot less country-club than Calvert, and even less so than Friends -- folding chairs rather than carved wood, painted cinderblock in the assembly hall rather than oak rafters. Which doesn't mean that Calvert and Friends aren't fine schools, but the Gilman vibe was (paradoxically?) more down to earth. And I have to say that the Calvert acceptance package was ridiculous. A tee shirt, a pennant, and a freaking personalized engraved certificate inside a pocket portfolio, like a wedding invitation. Gilman just sent us a laser printed letter, which seemed much saner.[/quote]
