[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both are great schools. It depends on your child. Based on my friends that have children there,[b] GDS is a great fit for a very artsy liberal type of child.[/b] For us it was difficult to know what type of child we had at Pre-K and we were not willing to take that risk, especially for a boy. We chose Beauvoir where we knew pretty much any kind of child can be happy and thrive there as we knew many different kinds of boys that seemed to be doing great there. We figure we can always go to GDS or Sidwell for the upper school if we feel that those are a good fit. Plus the fact that Beauvoir's entire focus is on early education - Pre-K to 3rd grade was really appealing to us. The program is wonderful and there is a lot of diversity at the school - racial, religious, economic, geographic, etc... [/quote]

GDS also has an extremely strong math and science program. GDS has built its reputation on superb academics with a clear mission of social justice. Athletics, not so much--but this also means that anyone who wants to play can, unlike at schools with far more competitive athletic programs (St. Albans) where you won't necessarily be able to play unless you're pretty darn good.[/quote]
