Great Article

I came across this great article on Derryfield High School's college counseling philosophy.

Reading through the article I could barely suppress my "Amens".

Similar to us, Derryfield champions a college fit approach over a college prize approach.

Like us, Derryfield's community has been able to subvert the impulse in our "serial applicant" culture to apply to 20 schools.

This year our seniors are averaging 4-5 applications which is a clear indicator that our kids are going against the current as opposed to going with it.
