[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NCS & Holton are for the academically talented girls. Somene who isn't at that level will suffer at both schools.[/quote]

But will the schools admit girls if they do not think the girls would be successful there?  I guess my thought is that the admissions process would weed out the girls for whom Holton & NCS are not a good fit.  I have friends who went to NCS and Holton who thought of themselves as "average" students at these schools, yet they all graduated, went to Ivies and are now very successful women.  The Holton girls (on average) seem to report a more positive experience, but they are all fiercely loyal to their alma maters and consistently acknowledge the many benefits they got from going to those schools. We all know it is statistically impossible for every girl at each school to be a genius, but I do think we sell our girls short if we assume they are not going to survive those schools unless they're "academically talented" (not even sure what that means). As one poster noted previously, if your girl is doing well at pretty much any K-8 school, they should be just fine at Holton or NCS provided that they are willing to apply themselves.[/quote]
