[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had always heard that Sidwell didn't inflate, but had not heard similarly about GDS. Sounds just a tough despite having a more laid-back reputation.[/quote] Sidwell excels in promoting the scholar-athlete ideal, but at GDS you have kids who "pointy," in college admissions parlance, and stand out for theater, arts, music, math, creative writing, or sometimes even sports (mostly cross-country and track and field, but also random sports like fencing and squash). So there is a "laid-back" reputation in the sense that the kids don't seem to be competing against each other as much, but rather pursuing their own goals, and GDS accommodates that to a great degree. The grading is tough, but not competitive.[/quote]
