NCS might be, but STA is not. Teachers in the joint upper level classes blatantly favor the STA boys, especially the STA teachers. And did you know that until very recently, STA boys could attend Homecoming at NCS but NCS girls had to be invited to theirs?

Feminist. Ha!

Grow up. The same complaints are lobbed by STA boys when taking classes at NCS that NCS teachers blatantly favor the girls, and penalize the boys. No one complains that NCS is misandrist. I don't know how many NCS parents brag about how their girls only take STA classes because they are easy As, etc... Both schools could do a lot more to cultivate a culture of mutual respect for each other's students and not the disdain for each other that I have observed.

As a mom of a boy, I always feel that the relationship is strained between schools bc of the differences in the way schools are administered (coat and tie v relaxed dress code for example). My kid always likes the NCS girls individually but feels school cultures are sometimes at odds -[b] and students feel very strongly about their own school’s superiority. It is a strange dynamic for sure.

As in, How High Schoolish....

NCS

The message is basically: you are very bright, definately capable- so go out and lead the world and never take no for an answer.

After All, you survived NCS

Second for Oakcrest

Our kids, a daughter and son, at Sidwell. Both kids have had a terrific experience. Our daughter excels in all areas academically and in athletics, and has been and felt fully supported by the school. To me, there seems to be proportional representation of girls and boys in positions of leadership across the board, and friendship groups and as far as I can tell informal and formal mentoring, seems to be taking place across genders. There is both formal and informal mentorship and programming regarding gender issues and for girls, and her daughter seems to be wholly grounded, centered and confident. I am guessing and hopeful that the same environment and opportunities are available at many schools, but wanted to relay that is certainly available at Sidwell.

I would say NCS and Holton

Agree. Young women graduate from these schools with a sense of empowerment and go on to do amazing things. I suggest reading their alumni magazines to get a sense.

You are joking, right? Every single woman I know who went to Holton is mean and non-impressive.

I can't speak to NCS.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus too?!!!

GDS was a no brainer for my DD for those reasons. But keep in mind, any school filled with families that can easily afford $45k/year keeps it's radicalism in the safe, performative zone. GDS's tuition is higher than the average family income of students at Berea (where bell hooks taught).

In all my years as an NCS parent, I have never heard an NCS parent brag about their child only taking classes at STA. I have also never met an STA parent who realized their own sons were being turned into chauvinists. And yet here we are.

Grow up yourself. The STA moms in particular showed their true colors when they went all-on for Kavanaugh’s confirmation. Because of course they did. God forbid their own perfect sons *ever* suffer the consequences of their behavior.

you're both deranged.

+1

GDS, Holton, NCS and Sidwell are great for lesbians and radical feminists.

What’s a “feminist school”?

Gds I believe. Holton has transgender girls? That's great, and news to me.

Must be Holton since they wanted to eliminate the term "all girls" because it was too exclusive.

You do realize that the two main moms that held the press conference for Kavanagh are also NCS parents? Just saying.
