[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:30 pretty much echoes what our neuropsych said about St. Anselm's and Field.  I have a kid who is NOT NT but with a high IQ and we are considering middle schools for when he's older.

Field while a good school does not have the intense academic pressure of STA, Sidwell or St Anselm's and that's reflected in where the kids go to college.  It's great for kids who need a smaller, more nurturing environment.  That does not make it a "lesser" school just different.[/quote]

Field kids go to a range of colleges. In the last year or two they've sent grads to Stanford, Wesleyan, Oberlin as well as whatever you are referring to. I agree that its great for kids who need (though I would add want) a more nurturing environment. It is that. It does not have the intense academic pressure of the other schools, correct. I reacted to the implication in the previous thread that these are kids who couldn't cut it in other schools. There are plenty of students at Field who affirmatively chose a school that doesn't have a competitive vibe, including students who leave the more competitive schools.[/quote]
