[quote=Anonymous]Our two kids graduated from NPS recently. I felt the academic program was stellar. We really saw how each year spiraled up from the last. Our kids are very different in personality and learning style, and NPS was able to foster a love of learning in both of them. By the time the kids are in 6th grade, they are comfortable speaking in front of audiences and with adults. NPS coached them with multiple mock interviews, so that they weren't nervous when they actually interviewed with the admissions team at the new schools. The 6th grade outplacement is incredible- something I didn't pay attention to when we were looking at schools (it seemed like such a far-off time for my little kiddos). They really supported the parents in finding the right school for each child, and they advocate for each child at every school he/she applys to- and the results speak for themselves. Both years when we had 6th graders, multiple children were accepted to NCS/STA and H-A/Landon, as well as Maret, Sidwell, Field, St Andrews, and Bullis to name a few. All of the kids appeared to have multiple acceptances and were able to choose the school that fit them best. I really love their focus on the "decade of childhood." We felt like NPS really emphasized sleep, playing with friends, and time off with family over homework. And when they did have homework, it made sense and did not seem like busywork. Both of my kids are attending "Big 3"schools are flourishing. And they have NPS friends at many other schools who are flourishing as well. So I am completely happy with our experience at NPS. I cant speak to Beauvoir, but I'm sure they are excellent as well. It just seemed that 3rd grade was too young to be making a decision about high school for us. [/quote]
