How important is the K-8 model to you? That’s the real decision here.
If I had to pick among those three I’d choose Beauvoir because I’d weigh the better outplacement options higher than the K-8 model.

BVR parent here, happy to answer any specific questions you have about the school!
(we chose it even though we’re not particularly interested in single sex and so will be looking beyond NCS/STA)

Go with the one that is closest to your house. There is no discernable difference in any of these schools that will amount to a hill of beans 10 years from now. You want to be around kids and other families that are closest to your home location.

With those schools, let commute be the deciding factor. Unless your be-all-end-all goal is NCS or STA, in which case choose Beauvoir.

Second this. That was our deciding factor away from Beauvoir as we are not interested in NCS/STA but if we were it would be a no brainer. Great schools!

Kindergarden may be the most important year of school. Don't underestimate the impact it will have. Choose the best one for your child.

I cannot overestimate how important this will be.

+1. Our school is in between our house and my job. It's so easy, and if I want to volunteer during the day (have flexible hours), I can!

We enrolled at Bullis yesterday. We had three other local choices. We chose Bullis because of the teachers we met and the LS head. Of course, the stunning building/playground/field/sport court that will be ready in June didn't hurt! (They gave prospective parents a hardhat tour yesterday.) We have a bit of a commute, but think it's worth it.

The closest good school.

Where did your child get in and where are you located? Those are key pieces of information if you want help deciding for K.

I think you should say where you got in and then we can offer more constructive advice based on experience?

Where are you going and why? What matters most to you in these early years? K-12 or K-8 or smaller? Culture? Class size? Location?
