[quote=Anonymous]In reference to the original poster on fit. As parents we really liked both Sidwell and NCS, however, our BVR DD is reserved in large formal settings. School outplacement counseled us that NCS would be a better academic fit and draw her out more as a student. She also felt strongly drawn to NCS and a few other schools but not Sidwell. We did tour a few school including Sidwell, but the one school she came away from less than excited to pursue was Sidwell. I don't know if it was overall vibe of the tour, a past camp experience, or how she envisioned the transition that generated this impression with her but we were a little surprised and noted the contrast to our impressions. However, NCS did a great job of highlighting how their curriculum develops strong writers and outspoken girls so I think you can see how this balanced out for our family. I can't speak to if these NCS expectations will be realized yet but we did meet other girls that described themselves as reserved but found their the voice at NCS.

P.S. Hope your DD finds the school that feels right.
