Wondering what you nee to have in order to be accepted in a non-expansion year. Looking for 6th grade.

Isn't 6th an expansion year?

I don't think so. I think it's 4th and 7th.

I think that they said something around 6 new students for 6th grade? Sorry - wasn't paying very close attention, but noticed because I hadn't thought it was so many.

4th, 7th and 9th are the big entry years. For 6th grade, I believe they usually admit 5-6 new boys.

This school year, seven boys were admitted to 6th grade and thirteen to 7th grade. No boys left either of these classes.

What's the avg class size at STA?

Choristers may join in 5th grade and families moving to area may apply for 5th and 8th grades.

The current Form II, aka 8th grade, has no new class members this year. And they lost 5-6 from last year's class. Wonder how many will be admitted for next year (9th).

I would be interested to know how many will be admitted to 9th as well. I believe it will be in the low 20's - based on what I vaguely remember from the Open House.

We asked the question re: next year's 9th and were told approximately 32. But, keep in mind they will use a few of those for boarding students.

That number sounds a bit high. I would guess between 15 and 20 admits to 9th grade unless they anticipate 25% of this year's 8th grade leaving, which is unlikely.

An average graduating class would have about 80 boys. An average instructional class (math, English, Science, etc.) would have 10 - 13
