Hi - current parent again. Cell phone policy was 100% harder for us than for DC. It is amazing. It encourages real relationships and was one of the key reasons we decided to send DC there. When we toured Potomac, Landon, etc it was like watching zombies walk around. Then you go to St Andrews and it is like 1980s high school with kids playing on the lawn, someone playing a guitar, kids swimming. I missed the constant texts, etc. etc. Made me rethink my cell phone use TBH.

We haven’t heard anything about drinking or drugs. Nothing. Which now that I think about it… is kind of strange. I’ll ask him about it. They keep the kids so busy that I can’t imagine when they would have time.

Hope that helps! It is a great place.

Thank you so much. Sounds intriguing.

Have to say though that St. A's isn't above having double standards. While my spouse was there, there was one incident where two kids were caught breaking a particular rule. One kid (the poor one) was expelled. The one (with very rich parents) was not.

Akin to what happened at St. Albans when Gore's son was caught smoking weed. Baby Gore was suspended the other students expelled. (At least Al & Tipper didn't like the double standard and sent him to Sidwell after that.)

erhm, no. Al III was counseled out.

The Gore’s political celebrity status allowed them to withdraw Al rather than have him expelled, and that’s it.

Just as Al Gore intended when he invented the internet

I would got to any school where Dead Poets Society was filmed. It's one of my favorite movies. JK about sending my kid for that reason. But it would be an awesome bonus.
