By putting the campuses together, GDS instantly gains an advantage that Sidwell doesn't have:  substantial convenience for families whose kids are enrolled in several grades and operational efficiencies that the school can apply to the classroom and to financial aid.  At the top tier of private schools ,there is a competition of sorts for the best and the brightest, and this move helps GDS in the long run.[/quote]

I am not sure why Sidwell would be the comparison here. They are two different schools. My impression is that Sidwell like having the smaller kids on their own campus and the kids in their final year there are the "big kids" before coming to the Wisconsin Avenue campus. They have a shuttle bus that runs between the campuses, and I don't know too many people who are complaining about two campuses - certainly no recent threads on DCUM. Ultimately, I guess we can just disagree. I think cramming 1100 kids onto a campus the size of Maret (which has a smaller student body) is a long term poor decision, clouded by the complication of the commercial transactions for the Wisconsin Avenue properties.[/quote]
