<p>St.George's (ri) vs Westminster (ct)? Which school do you think is better and why? </p>

2

<p>If you have to think about it, then Westminster.</p>

<p>No one school is just “better” than the other. Do some research and see what YOU like.</p>

<p>We liked both schools; there are positives and negatives to each. We chose a different school in the end. This is one family’s experience, your results/opinions will probably vary:</p>

<p>St George’s:
positive:

  • stronger academics
  • great location (and surfing)
  • the old dining room
  • met great people
    Negative (or not so positive):
  • physical plant might need repair
  • seemed not as strong in athletics (at least in D2’s sports)
  • seemed to not implement a coherent vision</p>

<p>Westie:
positive:

  • Grit and Grace, and they mean it and live it; very coherent
  • lots of new solid physical plant
  • athletics
    negative (or not so positive)
  • felt academics were more middle of the road
  • don’t like the architecture / color
  • didn’t get a good feeling for the people one way or the other</p>

<p>We preferred St George’s … but it still wasn’t the right fit for us.</p>

<p>@steelguy thank you so much for your insightful comment! It’s really nice to see the comparison of these two schools from your perspective. May I ask which different school you chose at the end?</p>

<h1>2 D is very different than #1 D, so we thought she’d go somewhere else. But she’s decided to go to Groton as well and create her own path there.</h1>
