If you mean outplacement to independent Catholic high schools, HT has no special advantage. If you mean non-Catholic independents that rarely happens. |
But it does seem to happen. Madeira, Holton, Episcopal, Saint Albans - to name a few. |
That’s “a few” alright. How’s that stack up against the number that go to Gonzaga, Prep, St. John’s, Visitation and Stone Ridge? The great majority of HTS grads go to Catholic high schools. A few go to non-Catholic independents. |

Agree. Have warned my incoming Visi daughter to steer clear of these girls. They all clump together anyhow so easy to avoid. Thankfully they are outnumbered by an overwhelmingly larger incoming group of smarter, kinder girls who have moms with impressive careers and more class. I will pray for them. |
So your answer to the anticipated snub by these girls is to have your daughter preemptively snub them? That's a great lesson to teach her. |
I am just saving her heartache, drama and snobbery. She's a kind, brilliant girl who would not have much in common with them anyway. |

| The school should have this information available. |
HTS is very hard to get into to - I've known families to wait years. Just letting you know. |
+1 I don't understand why OP thinks kids from Catholic parochial schools would apply to non Catholic private high schools. It happens, sure, but it is rare, and even then it is often not the first choice. |
| Well because we are new to the area and in NY/NJ this happens often where top Jersey and CT boarding schools are listed as outplacement schools for parochial catholic K-8s. |
Washington is a far, far different place. It has its own history and groups. And the Catholic community is much different then you are used to and very connected to and committed to the Catholic high schools. |
| HTS is terrible. Not worth wasting your time. Almost all of their kids go to visi, Gonzaga and St. John’s. |
