To each their own… As an MS parent, I would not describe the dress code as “super conservative.” I’m fine with it. And having had some experience in public middle school in Alexandria and seeing what kids wear there, I am even more OK with the Saints dress code.

What??
NO about Jan 6th

That was a coup against the US government there are not two sides.

Any school teaching that is absolute garbage!

The 8th grade seminar is student led discussion. If there was any discussion about there being two sides on January 6th, it was brought in by a student who likely heard that at home. 95% of the teachers at SSSAS virtue signal very liberal. No teacher would “teach” that there were two rational sides to January 6th.

what would they teach about the attacks on ICE agents in Minnesota and elsewhere?

The school just spent yesterday holding the Colloquim for the Common Good. It was a lot of seminars for high schools and almost all of it was in the social justice lane. So for those worried that a kid or two might have raised views leaning right, be assured the school itself remains typical if Episcopal schools and leans relatively left socially. My child is having a great time and we find the academics rigorous compared to the private our other child attends.

Wow that other private school must be incredibly easy.

We are a new family -started middle in the fall 2025. We came from another independent in DC and the main reason we left the DC school was bullying and the former school's inability to deal effectively with it. So far, my daughter is happier than we've seen her in years at SSSAS! She has a comfortable friend group already- mainly through their love os sports. SSSAS is academically more rigorous than the other schools, but my daughter loves her teachers and gets support when needed. Highly recommend.

I currently have two kids in the LS and I could not be happier with the lovely community that SSSAS is as well at the great academics! I never imagined that my girls would love school so much. Both of my girl's teachers have been there for over 20 years- I love that!
