Because I have concerns about football culture in America and its overall safety and what it does to kids.

Because I enjoyed going to schools that had neither and I think it made for a positive experience that I think my DC would thrive in.


I agree about football but I think you'll find that at the schools that do have football teams they don;t loom so large because at this age parents are beginning to pull back. I'd be more concerned about lacrosse.

I mentioned Field. Sounds like culturally it could be a good fit. We love it.

As we start to consider high school options, I realized that was one additional factor to consider.

Looking at co-ed, sectarian or religiously liberal schools in DC or Maryland.

Thanks!

Thanks but I'm looking for co-ed and have a boy. He could turn out to be trans but I think I'd know by now.
