[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to NCS and would never ever send my son to St Albany’s, or likely any all boys schools for that matter. Incredibly sexist atmosphere that was demeaning to women. As an ncs girl if you walked down the hallway, they would all stop and stare. If you were in one of their classes, they would stare at you, and often snicker when you commented in class. Sexual harassing jokes in the school publications, etc. Never, never, never would I send my son there.[/quote]

What’s ironic is this type of attitude (looking for offense, unable to deal with the real world without whining and lashing out) being fostered at NCS is why so many parents send their boys to STA but never even consider sending their girls to NCS. [/quote]

Wow. I’ve never heard this line before. “So many,” huh?  Where do these families send their girls?  And if you are one of them, glad my kid is not around the likes of you. [/quote]

No need for insults! It’s simply the truth. There’s an awful lot of families who send their sons to STA and their daughters to Stone Ridge or Visi bc they don’t like the atmosphere NCS has created for girls. It’s a fantastic school in many ways (we strongly considered it) but it seems to be turning out a lot of girls who are overworked, brittle, and angry at the world.

It could very well be that NCS is full of parents who refuse to send their sons to STA and instead send them to Gonzaga or Georgetown Prep. I honestly don’t know. I just know that I’ve met as many families at STA whose girls attend a school other than NCS (by choice, not because they couldn’t get in) as I have families whose daughters attend NCS. [/quote]

The families that don’t send their daughters to NCS tend to be very conservative and club oriented and NCS is not predominately either of those things so it’s not the culture they want. That is the truth. [/quote]

+2 NCS is also really tough academically. [/quote]

Not more than STA.  It also turns out lots of girls with eating disorders.  [/quote]
