[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the NYC equivalent of NCS.[/quote]

Absolutely not. No DC private could ever compare to a NYC private. No one outside of 20008 has ever heard of NCS.[/quote]

Hmm...mmm.

Among certain sets and demographics, people can be very aware of the leading private schools in all the major and even midsize cities. NCS and St. A fall into this category for DC. As do Gilman and Bryn Mawr in Baltimore and so on. You'd be surprised. Brearley would be the NYC contribution to this phenomena as does Winsor in Boston.

Eh, NYC has them in greater volume. In addition to Brearley, Chapin and Spence are considered powerhouses that are better-known than NCS or Holton-Arms. (And yes, outside of DCUM, Holton is considered on-par with NCS.) My brother and I went to Big 3 schools, and our mom admitted we'd have gone to much more prestigious schools if only we'd grown up in NYC.

But it really shouldn't matter when it comes to shelling out money for private schools. The point should be providing your child with the best possible education in an environment where they'll flourish.[/quote]
