[quote=Anonymous]My DD goes to Holton.  I think it is rigorous but also looks for and accepts kids with potential and pushes them to be smarter, stronger, confident girls.  That is the main reason I sent her there and will not be applying for Blair or RM.  I am sure those schools are on par or maybe even better.  But I love the girl power, community feel of Holton. I like the small class sizes, I LOVE the teachers and the heads of school.   I have heard from too many people that the public IB's are full of kids who have no life.  Nothing outside of school and homework.  I think it has to do with the fact that they enroll a small group from all over and put them in a school with kids that all know each other.  I just don't want that kind of life for my daughter.  I am sure most kids are fine but my daughter is very sociable and I think those programs would crush her soul.  She also is athletic and it is much easier to do both at a school that WANTS you to do both.

We have friends at St Andrews and Stone Ridge that seem very happy there too.  [/quote]
