NSCD is so much more than just an amazing school. From the first day our boys walked on to campus we as a whole family felt embraced by teachers and staff. Both boys have thrived and grown as students and humans: body, mind, and soul.

Badly summarizes it pretty accurately. Now don't get me wrong, you could do a lot worse with school. After all, NSCDS still gets good academic performance. But those other schools don't cost 30k or whatever. In summary, if all you care about is getting your kid in the best college possible, regardle...
