I mean, a kid from elsewhere may bring a little geographic diversity instead of yet another kid from DC.

It's not a state school.

I agree with the PP. Sidwell students wear a wide variety of clothing. There are plenty of pj bottoms and t-shirts, sweats, and jeans. But you’ll also see polos and khakis. There isn’t an obvious focus on name brands, but you’ll definitely see students wearing Moncler jackets, Golden Goose sneakers, Lululemon, etc.

They should wear whatever they normally feel comfortable with. There is not one style at Sidwell. My son was never dressy and the schoo in general isn't dressy. He wore anything from joggers/sweats to casual pants.

For context - his prior school had no jeans or sweatpants and collared shirts (mostly polo/golf shirts) and were allowed to wear casual t-shirts/hoodies only if they had a school logos (until 8th - when they allowed broader set of tshirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies)

Weird question. People move to the DC area all the time. None of them should be allowed admission to Sidwell unless their parents are politicians?

Are you saying that families moving to the area shouldn't be allowed to gain admissions to private schools?
