[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The book award in our grade normally goes to a beauvoir boy and most of the kids that get academic prizes are from beauvoir. [/quote]
It's possible for Beauvoir grads to have very strong individual students but be weaker in the aggregate than those entering the Cathedral schools in 4th grade from other parts of the area.  Not contradictory at all.[/quote]

Define “weaker.”  Beauvoir math emphasizes problem-solving and conceptual understanding, so they do not emphasize computation or rote learning.  If you place a Beauvoir 3rd grader against a Sidwell 3rd grader, the Beauvoir child might seem to be “weaker.”  However, the Beauvoir child will excel at conceptual and critical thinking as well as problem-solving. Beauvoir children is also very strong at teaching children how to learn and to enjoy the process. That has made the tuition worth it for us.  [/quote]

Beauvoir boys get the most academic prizes in both my sons’ grades. In Honors math it is mostly Beauvoir boys. Your facts are incorrect. As for NCS, my daughter has had straight A’s every year at NCS coming from Beauvoir without any outside help. More importantly though, she’s happy and loves her school and classmates. Can’t believe everything you read on here. If we had, we would’ve missed an amazing opportunity for her and for us, as we’ve met the warmest nicest families at NCS. We have no regrets about Beauvoir.
