[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GDS for depth in courses, academic excellence, better social scene because there are MORE kids like in the real world. Less hand holding. 
Maret for kids who need small class size and more hand holding though the former is a better prep for college and the world. How do I know this? We switched from Maret to GDS.  [/quote]
 
GDS admins would be embarrassed if they saw a parent write this.

In terms of material covered, Maret and GDS are similar. [b]GDS has more homework[/b], but whether that’s a positive is unclear.[/quote]

As I've watched my two Maret kids do hours and hours of homework over the years, I have no idea where this notion comes from.[/quote]

I'm the PP; I went off mostly what I'd heard on these boards, but I can't fairly judge if I don't have direct experience with both.

FWIW, the academic experiences at both schools seem comparable.[/quote]

I can’t speak to Maret but my Maret kid does 2x the work of his sibling at a Big 3 school. I personally have found the quality of the teaching more variable at Maret as compared with the other school, but we also could have gotten the short end of the stick on teachers. Please look carefully at the courses and compare options. For example, if your kid is really into humanities, then you might have more on campus options at GDS. [/quote]
