Kids go through a lot of challenges. At an all girls school, at least they don’t have to worry about boys’ wanted or unwanted attentions. I was a bit skeptical about that idea before. But after my daughter’s nearly two years at an all girls school, I think it was a great decision. Other than that, and affordability, I think either - small or large, secluded or in-town, higher sat or lower etc. - probably could have worked well for us. It’s more of what you make out of the available opportunities. Grier’s strongest ECs include its renowned dance program with teachers from Broadway, while my kid’s specialty was, well, sculpting. After one and a half year, she is in its dance program! I don’t think I would have been happier if she was sculpting instead.
