[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Friends’ kids at Sidwell, GDS and Maret and Walls.  I would say it depends on your child.  Walls is head and shoulders above the other schools for some kids - if your child has an independent spark then he/she will thrive at Walls.  The opportunities to learn deep and wide are endless - not just in the classroom but throughout the city.   If your child thrives in a well-resourced environment, then Sidwell is hands down your best option.  It really depends on the family and the child.  (This assumes you have $55k + per year for Sidwell, which we do and passed up for Walls.  We listened to our child and since our child had a clear preference we went Walls.  Haven’t looked back, well, maybe a little when the Sidwell basketball team crushed JR in the city tournament.).

Our child is getting a phenomenal education, is thriving and has tons of peer and faculty support.  The kids are all incredibly nice and grounded.  Would our child have had that at Sidwell?  Maybe … but with wealth comes all sorts of other things that I am happy to have my child sidestep. [/quote]

I see this written a lot about Walls, without any explanation.  Independent in what way?  What are some examples of the independent student spark that is rewarded at Walls?[/quote]
