[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best thing about the school are the parents.  No matter how successful - all were normal and wanted their kids to thrive.  My sweetest meories are of Beauvoir.  That said - the academics were very weak.  We were all dealt a harsh reality that starting 4th grade very few Beauvoir kids were academically prepared.  The music and art are shining stars though, and the science was great.  Spanish was the worst I've ever seen, and math/english swept under a rug.[/quote]

How can the academics be weak when the outplacement is pretty good and NCS and St Albans (we're a majority of their kids go on to) are highly sought out? Is it possible that Beauvoir spends more time focusing on child development and less time shaping them into 5 and 6 year old Einstein's? Seems to me even if the academics are weaker, which I seriously question, that it all balances out in the long run when it really matters.

Also, is it possible that this is no longer true? Current parents don't seem to perceive the education as weaker.[/quote]
