[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talking with current and former NCS parents (in the case of former the daughter graduated NCS and is now in college), the high school work load is a lot.  In all instances the girls appreciated and valued the education they received, but the common thread was that they wished there was a bit more joy during the high school years.  Even if your daughter isn't in high school currently, it is important to understand what it will be like throughout the years at NCS.  It is an amazing school, but might not be the right fit for all.[/quote]

What school does not homework for HS students attending a college prep school or even a top public school with AP/Honors courses?!  I am tired of reading threads about how stressed NCS girls are and how much homework they have.  We looked at all the top all girl schools in the DC area and I haven't found one school where the girls are sitting around homework free.  As a parent of a public school child who is already in college, she had loads of homework in her AP/Honors courses and she is thriving at a top university where she also has loads of homework.  I am looking for a school that will prepare my incoming 9th grade daughter for the work load she will have ahead in college.  If NCS is a place where girls are challenged, supported and encouraged by her peers, not afraid to speak out for what she believes in, have to learn to manage time, has homework and yes helps her not fear healthy competition (after all she will probably work in a field dominated by men)  then I am extremely happy she chose NCS as her high school.  Fancy receptions are not needed.  [/quote]
