[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't Sidwell, Maret and GDS perhaps focused too much on academics ... without providing the balance needed for healthy & holistic development (including nurturing sports & art talent)?

It shouldn't be "either or" - [b]either [/b]top academics [b]or[/b] sports/art.  There are kids who excel in both, who have the potential to get into an Ivy League AND take a shot at reaching the top in sports 
... for such kids, what is the right choice in the Washington DC area?[/quote]

Sidwell, Potomac, StA, NCS, and Holton all have a pretty good balanced approach to academics, sports, arts, social, etc.

GDS, Maret, and WIS probably tilt more academic than athletic.

Landon, Georgetown Prep, SSSAS, and Flint Hill probably tilt more athletic than academic. [/quote]

GDS and maret are NOT as demanding academically as some of the other schools.   There are levels of sports leagues- MAC , IAC, etc.  The big splits between academics and athletics are in some of the huge catholic schools like Dematha and Good Counsel.  [/quote]

So, which schools are academically most challenging?  How can we tell?[/quote]
