[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, there is the moderately-sized asterisk that families who 1. seek to avoid any Christian theology-based school, no matter how "lite" and 2. want an excellent education will put GDS at the top of the list.   That's still very much the case, based on my anecdata of atheist and observant Jewish good friends with kids at GDS.   For some of these friends, even mandatory Quaker meeting for worship or non-denominational & Christian chapel requirements were too much.  i.e., NCS, Sidwell, St. Andrews.

For this crew, the pool consists of GDS, Sheridan, Lowell, Burke, and a couple of other schools.

I agree with these thoughts except that for some reason, many people I know seem to exclude Sidwell from category 1. It’s almost as if the “cache” of the school causes them to justify why the Quaker aspects of Sidwell are not religious in nature. I hear many people do this with Norwood, too, which to my understanding still has a weekly chapel requirement. [/quote]

Norwood's daily chapel is not religious in nature. Originally Episcopal, the school is now secular.[/quote]
