[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter chose to attend RMIB over Blair and Poolesville this year, and she's quite happy with her decision. Initially, she was hesitant for a while. After visiting Blair, we thought that would be her final choice. However, after participating in a shadow day at RMIB, she changed her mind as soon as possible. Importantly, she made the decision independently, not influenced solely by the coordinator. RMIB offers a supportive environment with peers who have diverse interests.It's not toxic at all. The homework load is very manageable compared to Blair, allowing her the flexibility to pursue her own interests. One big difference is that, unlike Blair that all students have to compete in the same fields, such as math and computer science. This opens up more possibilities for students at RMIB. [/quote]

My child was just the opposite.  RM was our home school so the easier choice for a kid deciding between RM and Blair.  But the RM open house was terrible, and the shadow day was very poorly organized.  He attended band, the same English class two times (with a different shadow) and a full class math test. Even the acceptance info from Blair was better.  Four happy years at Blair.  He is a college senior now so I know the leadership at RM has changed making our experience somewhat irrelevant. In terms of college DS chose between full tuition at UMD and an Ivy.  [/quote]
My DD went to Economics and TOK, she thoroughly enjoyed it and chose RMIB over Blair after the shadow day. Regarding Poolesville, a single trip to the school was enough; the distance alone influenced her decision not to attend. 😅[/quote]
