[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Congrats OP—two great choices. Maybe consider the daily schedules and how that fits for your family. I have a kid at GDS so I only know their schedule. They are on a block schedule with 75 minute classes. HS starts at 8:45am—they have a class then community time, then another class, followed by lunch and two classes after lunch. After school sports /programs are optional. Many HS kids hang out in the forum or gym after school. The classes are every other day (so they don’t have homework assigned one day and due the next which is nice). GDS generally does not have homework over breaks. 
GDS has busses that drop off at school at 8am (lots of kids hang in the forum or library until 8:45am when school starts). The busses leave school around 3:40. You pay by the day so we always use the morning bus, and either use the afternoon bus or carpool home if staying for sports, drama, buddy program, etc. School closed around 8pm. [/quote]

Thank you, this is super helpful! [/quote]

That is a nice schedule [/quote]

Would love a Sidwell person to post their schedule too![/quote]
