@london203, “I” paid room deposit and signed on the agreement with Grier. But daughter is still thinking. What do I know about a pre-teen girls mind?
@SculptorDad tell her to stop thinking and start getting excited! 
Did you go to re-visit? If not, a visit to the school could help…
But - congratulations!
@london203 I suggested to visit both schools. But she says she already knows enough and doesn’t want to be swayed by emotions.
Whatever works for her. Congratulations!
We talked more. It seems, at the time of application, she didn’t know that she would prefer to be around boys who then generally seemed immature. It’s a strong argument and I can’t blame that.
I agree with your daughter. As the mother of two former BS boys and former weekend/break mom for many others… BS boys are tremendous fun but she won’t be missing anything if she attends an all girl school. In fact, the limited contact she’ll have with BS boys ( dances, etc. ) will probably put her over the edge until Mr. BS Dreamboat waltzes in and the room begins to spin.
Hey- it can happen…
I still crack up when I think about K2 calling his BS girlfriend “Cabbage” . Yeah- it was meant to be sweet and endearing but… she didn’t really dig it. LOL .
@sculptordad I went to an all girls boarding school. The “no boys” thing was a non-issue. There were plenty of opportunities to interact with boys (plays, dances, brothers, etc). The good part was that they did not impact every day life… I assume you have read articles/books on “why all girls” but just in case, perhaps read here: http://www.ncgs.org/CaseForGirls.aspx
Good luck with the decision… Time is getting short as I assume that adds to the stress.
Boys seem immature for a long time. Not sure she will change her mind on that for a while! Good luck with the decision!
My daughter, while being quite fond of boys, chose to attend an all-girls school. Have to completely agree with what @london203 said… they have plenty of opportunities for interacting with boys, but not having boys around 24/7 means they are not competing for the boys’ attention, not dressing to impress anyone but themselves, and not constantly gossiping about who is dating who. And if they’re having a bad hair day, it’s not a tragic event… LOL
Was he studying French?
“Mon petit chou”, aka “my little cabbage” is a traditional term of endearment in France.
Yup, another vote for all girls school.
I think coed is better for boys though.
“but not having boys around 24/7 means they are not competing for the boys’ attention, not dressing to impress anyone but themselves”
I don’t think this holds true from my own experiences. One, I think females often dress to impress other females. A lot of guys could care less and prefer the more natural, no makeup look. Two, I think one of the good things about boarding schools and the genders is that kids often get to see the other gender as a brother or sister type figure. It’s not unusual for girls to crawl out of bed, grab some sweats and go to early breakfast or roll into dinner fresh out of the shower from athletics with little regard to hair, makeup, clothing.
@doschicos, daughter wears pants and no make up, even though she has been hanging with high school boys in her sports team, and is seen with gasp a college boy in library between her classes. While she plans to make a boyfriend, I don’t think she will suddenly start dressing to impress. She also assured me that she won’t rush in marrying her first boyfriend.
@mass2020mom likely they will be still somewhat immature during high school years, but seems that doesn’t prevent girls to start liking them. Probably it’s girls who change and embrace it.
My son would be perfectly fine with your daughter’s pants and no makeup. I’ve actually heard a group of teenaged boys talk about how they prefer the natural look to makeup on more than one occasion. It’s always enlightening having groups of your kid’s friends over or driving a car full of boys to a practice or game. 
Both my son and daughter highly valued the friendships they had with members of the opposite sex. It was good for them to be exposed to different perspectives.
Doesn’t Grier have a connection with a local boys’ school? Many/most girls’ schools do for socialization reasons and whatnot.
@6teenSearch - How did you guess? LOL.
K2 should’ve been born and raised in a castle somewhere but alas… he was not.
After a lot more thinking, daughter finally settled for Grier.
I asked her to consider a hypothetical question; what would be her choice between 3 years at Grier or community college if she were making that choice a year later.
She should choose North Country now if it is 50/50 or learning toward community college, since she won’t be loosing anything then. But she would clearly choose Grier then, so she decided to choose Grier now.
I am glad that she came to the term on her own with me expressing support on either ways.
Now that she can only meet boys on weekends, I don’t need to giver her my precious digital camo poncho to hide herself while sneaking around at nights.
Congratulations @SculptorDad!
Congratulations!
That sounds great. Grier will be a better school with your daughter there.
