[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I’ve been struck by the fact that of the several NCS grads I know, very few want to send their own daughter to NCS. 
This is different from the St. Albans grads I know who by and large do want their boys to go to St. Albans. Why such a difference?

Because NCS is HARD!!! 
It is not for everyone[/quote]

STA is also hard.  I believe the real answer is that the dynamics at an all girls’ school are just more difficult - not just at NCS, but many other girls’ schools. I have daughters who have attended various local girls’ schools, and they have tended to be be more “cliquey” with more conflict and competition.  STA has built a culture where most of the boys are driven to do their best, but they support each other and don’t wish for their classmates to do poorly. There are different groups, of course, but they seem to get along with each other.  I have always thought the rotating family lunch tables has a lot to do with this.[/quote]

I have high schoolers at both schools. Both are challenging. NCS is unnecessarily more difficult. [/quote]
