Oh yet again soooo happy to be out of NYC area and living in Canada! Loved NY but saw the pressure on the wall when it came to preschool (part of another thread). I’m sure I would get swept up in it if we were still there.

Here, a very selective private school but they do so much to keep it low key (offer relatively few APs, strategically limit the course load, no ranking and a policy of not ever even talking about course or exam averages). Students do just fine in placing in top US schools and Ivies too every year, but without all the ‘stuff’ around it. I don’t think I fully appreciated why they did all that until now.
