| We are looking into HTS and I wanted to find out more about outplacement to high school for female students. I know that many students would go to Visi or Stone Ridge. Do many students attend the independent schools for high school? Thanks! |

HTS is top 3 feeder school to Visi based on girls attending each year. SJC is the next largest destination school. The SR cohort is smaller given its location relative to where students live (50% VA, DC 40%). A few girls go to GDS and Maret each year.

I know a few girls from our community who went to Holy trinity. Other than SR and visi - I know girls at GDS and AHC

No, they do not. If you are thinking about saving money while attending HTS, and then applying to an independent school -- think again. It is hard enough to get into the popular Catholic high schools after attending a Catholic K-8 school, so if your goal is a top independent high school, DO NOT get on the Catholic school train. |
| Bump, any new experiences with HTS outplacement for high school? |

Thank you very much! |
| Just don't go to Blessed Sacrament. The girls and their mothers are awful. You do not want to endure that type of treatment. |
Not true. |
I don’t know about Blessed Sacrament but you will find those girls and mothers everywhere. |
Is this the typical outplacement for the last few years? Besides Holton and one more, HTS does not have any outplacement to other independents? Is that because students/families leaving HTS want to continue with religious affiliation? |
Don't follow super closely but these placements seem consistent with what we saw when we were considering HTS for our DS a couple of years ago. |
A few years ago two boys went to St. Albans from Holy Trinity class of 2023. I do not know of any girls attending NCS from Holy Trinity but I guess you would have to apply and see. I think most girls it sounds like continue on to Catholic schools but it is not impossible to go elsewhere. |

Thank you. I don't mean this to be gauche - but why does HTS charge nearly double for tuition compared to other ADW and neighboring Arlington parochial schools?
Is it JUST because of location, or does HTS provide some additional value that the other parochial catholic schools do not (e.g. Outplacement to independents, etc.) |
Some of that is because their costs are higher. Some of it is because that's what the market will bear. If the school brings in more money than it costs, the surplus goes into the church coffers. |
