[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent who attended the transition meeting for rising third grade parents for next year I was impressed with the non-Cathedral school outcomes (3-5 accepts at pk-12 schools like Holton, Sidwell, GDS, Landon, Potomac) is pretty competitive! There used to be a time when only 1 or 2 went, if any from BVR. [/quote]

Yes! A lot more kids from BVR are now applying to other schools. [b]Not all parents want single sex/religious schools for their kids[/b].[/quote]

Which brings us back to the original question. If you know early on that you don't want single sex/ religious schools for your kids, why would you send them to BVR in the first place, if the teaching quality is so spotty and the curriculum turns out to be so weak?[/quote]

Exactly- which is why I as a Beauvoir parent am posting in this thread. I didn’t realize the teaching quality was so poor and the curriculum weak and the administration out of touch and unwilling to work with parents. We weren’t sold on NCS/ STA. Only go to Beauvoir if you’re 100% sure that’s what you want and your kid will get in. There’s no other reason- Beauvoir isn’t a good school on its own. [/quote]

That last sentence is not fair.  It's not a good school for every kid.  Period. No school is.  It was a great school for both of my kids, who continued on the STA/NCS and are both doing well in their respective middle school and high school years.  They both still speak fondly of their time at BVR.  I don't discount your experience at all.  But your bad experience doesn't make it "not a good on its own."  That's blanektly false. For the right child, it's an amazing school. [/quote]

Exactly- great school in that it got your kids into STA/NCS. You just proved this point- it’s not a great school if you take that out of the equation. The education is poor. [/quote]

So if your kids don’t get into STA/NCS, you complain online. Got it [/quote]

I would never send my kids to STA or NCS after our BVR experience. Your response is literally what everyone says when one raises complaints about the school. They have such a racket going- built in demand because of NCS/STA and any criticism is negated because “your kids didn’t get into NCS/STA.” Beauvoir doesn’t have to stand on its own and couldn’t compete if it did. Wish I had that kind of job security. [/quote]
