[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]We've been thrilled[/b] with Norwood and will be sending a K student in the fall to join our 2nd grader. My DD has loved all the teachers and honestly doesn't ever say anything that suggests a gender divide. I also don't notice that when watching kids play after school. I saw more of a gender divide at my DDs previous DCPS. [/quote]

what thrills you, exactly?

Its easy to come on this board and attempt to balance any coherent criticism which has been posted, but really you have to be coherent yourself. Just saying you're "thrilled" makes your post look like a desperate attempt to improve school image but without any of the facts to back it up.[/quote]

Nothing better than anonymous trolls on free message boards that beat people up for not giving the specificity they demand.  LOL!  Do you spend your spare time going after TripAdvisor posters who give five stars to hotels but just say "great!" or "fantastic!"?  It's a free message board, not Foreign Policy Magazine.

Back to the topic, my children certainly do not feel it is overly sporty and we as a family are also ... wait for it ... thrilled.

We enjoy the values instilled daily at chapel and quite frankly throughout the school in each and every class.  The moralistic, selfless, inclusive lessons are fantastic.  Not hippy dippy, but not parochial (our way is the right way).   [b]Are the academics top notch?  Not certain I could make that assessment[/b] as I am no early childhood education expert but we are impressed with what our kids are learning and our children are certainly learning a lot than their previous school, they now really like school and we have not seen any subjects where are lacking v. peers at privates and publics elsewhere.  We were previously at a MoCo public close to the school with disinterested teachers, overcrowded classrooms and our kids were ambivalent about school.

At the end of the day, visit the school (and others) and I would guess you will soon get a feeling that it is or is not a fit for your child.

Top notch academics are really [b]the most important[/b]aspect of any school, be it private or public, parochial or not.[/quote]
