[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [quote=Anonymous]Not surprising. Have you ever been to their auction? Whole tables of parents will each give $10k on a whim. [/quote]

:shock:

As a parent considering the school, would you say that those who cannot do this are left out socially or otherwise? I mean, we would be full pay, but really just barely. There is no way we'd be throwing $10k around.

Not that I'm well versed in typical construction costs around here, but $70m seems an awful lot for a gym. [/quote]

You'll be fine. For every Ted Leonsis - whom I have come across in work, charity events and their lovely children - there are families like you.

I am grateful for the donors - heavy hitters in tech, A&D, investment mgmt.  Wouldn't blink to invite them over to my tiny colonial (except they are very busy working, running companies).

[b]Great school, work hard culture, open minded, sweet kids.  I guess in contrast to some of the DC super liberal schools with a preference for the community activist and academic elite, here you just might get a dose of capitalism and entrepreneurialism. (GASP!)[/b][/quote]

And it's lovely to see that parents too are so "open-minded" and non-judgmental!  [/quote]
