St. Andrews vs. STA for high school?

Anonymous wrote:Both good Episcopal schools welcoming to families of all faiths. STA is all-male, traditional, and a bigger brand name amongst the country club set. SAES is newer, co-ed, and more diverse and forward-looking. Both nice campuses. STA is Dead Poets Society and religious about tradition. SAES is research-based teaching and religious about student happiness. Some DCUM posters are upset their child didn't get into the 'right' school and jealous of the strides SAES has achieved, or want to tear down STA's well-earned reputation for academic excellence, hence the trolling. But both schools offer top notch experiences with small class sizes and outstanding teachers. And there are plenty of kids at each who (gasp!) turned down Sidwell or GDS in favor of a better fit. If your son wants to push himself academically, play lots of sports vs. IAC teams (think Bullis, Landon, GTown Prep), wear a coat and tie, and get into a good college: choose STA. If your son wants to go to school with girls, have a well-balanced education/social/emotional experience, and get more varsity playing time vs. MAC sports teams (think Sidwell, GDS, Potomac), and get into a good college, choose SAES. Best way to figure out which is a better fit is to visit both campuses and have you son meet current students, teachers, and coaches. Good luck!

I liked this. Thank you.

Social media for any school is marketing. Even so, I think you can get a sense of each school by flipping through their Instagram page. They seem pretty different, even on the surface.

No one would send their son to SAES if they got accepted to STA.

That statement is absurd. You have no idea what each person’s child needs or wants. Some children refuse to go to all boys schools, and some parents think it’s healthy for children to be in a coed environment. At the same time, some parents insist on their children going to all boys schools and some boys prefer to be in that environment. Every family is different.

the only thing in common between these two is the minor theology requirement.

They are totally different geographies- in NW DC and other north of the beltway and up 270. Then eat through the neighborhood

This is true. Not in the same league.
Just like how no one decides to go to Dartmouth or Cornell if they get into Harvard. Even though they are all good schools

That statement presumes someone applied to both which, unless people like to waste time and effort, means the single sex aspect has been considered and built into the calculation. SOME people may choose not to apply to STA bc it’s is single sex BUT, if they apply and get accepted to both, nearly all are going to STA.

Okay. I'm guessing you're childless.

Sit at my foot and learn: STA is the better school. Period. 100 out of 100 pedagogical experts agree.
