[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maret is not casual liberal leaning.  it leans all the way, every day.[/quote]

I think you may have misread the prior post.  It says that both schools are liberal leaning, but that GDS seems to be thought of as being more liberal than Maret (and also more casual, as in...  laid-back).  That said, I agree that Maret is certainly, clearly well over on the liberal side of the spectrum.  As with DC generally though, DC private schools (at least the ones normally discussed here) tend to lean liberal/Democratic -  favoring Obama/Clinton, lots of interest in community service, constant push for diversity among students, obvious school admin push to have diversity among faculty (gender/race/ethnicity), absence of religious recognition (i.e., no Christmas trees; no religious-traditional songs at December band/chorus concerts), etc.[/quote]

NP here.

Let's accept that everything you say about Maret is true.

GDS can't rightly be said to be "leaning" left.  It is squarely, solidly, and forever cemented inside of Hard Left.

It does everything you cite as examples above and takes it to the next level.  At the high school level, that means the political/policy/philosophical theme permeates the curriculum, too.  It affects what it taught and how it is framed.

OP, when you get further into the application process in the fall, you'll want to be sure to sit in on some humanities classes at both schools, if this topic is of interest to you.[/quote]
