[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of these NCS post are a tad depressing. I have a DD at Beauvoir and while we were (and still are not) set on NCS, I would be lying if I said one of the attractive things about Beauvoir was the feeder relationship (opportunity to apply early admissions) with the other schools on The Close and NCS' supposedly highly regarding reputation. After reading thread after thread after thread about NCS (and most of them seeming to balance on the negative side) I am really worried if my DD would be happy there. Yes, I know she will be academically challenged, but will her spirit be crushed by what sounds like such a mean spirited environment? What's even more odd is when I talk to the young ladies who are there now, who attended Beauvoir, they all say how much they like it. When I ask their parents how it is going, there are a few who say there were some rough social years but once their DD found her group things improved drastically. This all seems like so much to put on the shoulder of girls.

Is this the norm in the independent school world? Or is it truly just a NCS thing?[/quote]

I don't mean to tell you how to live your life but if you have access to actual NCS students and families, why would you turn to an anonymous forum that includes comments made by people with no connection to the school? My daughter really enjoyed her time at NCS. I'm sure if you attended some of the games or performances and struck up a conversation with the girls, you would learn everything you need to know.[/quote]

Agreed.  My daughter is in the US now at NCS and loves it.  I do not recognize the school that is described in the negative posts.  In my daughter's experience, the school and the girls are incredibly supportive.  Then again, if someone says they have a daughter at NCS who doesn't like it, I believe them.

Fortunately for you, because your daughter is already at Beauvoir, you and she should be able to figure out firsthand whether NCS is right for her.  Do not base your decision on posts in this thread, even mine.[/quote]
