[quote=Anonymous]Beauvoir is not at all rigorous. We had one there, and one at another, so speaking first hand, I would say that is true. They believe that pushing young kids really hard academically pays no dividend, as opposed to focussing on the socialization and love of learning for its own sake. On the other hand, they get to STA and NCS, and they are not as ready as the other kids, but they do catch up fast. I believe a very disproportionate number of the NMSF at NCS and STA are ex Beauvoir. I don't have an opinion on who is right, although I think they could push the kids harder than they do. The 'product' at the back end (12th grade) is good. Of our personal experience in 4 schools, I would say Beauvoir is the least demanding, and STA the most demanding. The other two privates were in the middle. There is dueling science on both sides, and I don't believe either side has made a compelling case one way or the other. Whatever works for your Buttercup.[/quote]
