Landon has veered pretty far left politically. If that aligns with your family's values, then go to Landon, and if not, go to Prep.

DS declined Prep for GC. People thought we were crazy at the time. In hindsight it was the right decision for him. The PLTW and IB programs are a perfect fit as well as some significant ECs that provided better opportunities at GC. It depends on the individual student.

Serious question: are there or have their been kids boarding that were rumored or known to be connected to the cartels?

Very odd question. You should not base an acceptance on wondering if anyone declined as a decision on accepting. Do what is best for your son. Prep is
for Catholics as STA for Episcopalians. If you are not a catholic then maybe another school fits better.

Is this poster for real? This is the DMV, not some closed minded backwater.

There’s a Catholic zealot patrolling these posts for anything they deem anti-Catholic. I think if you turn the Prep down they’ll report you to the Mother Superior as a bigot and anti-Catholic. Not kidding just go to the website feedback section.

As usual, the "certain" ignorant DCUM's come out of the anonymous closet and take the post totally off topic for their sick pleasure. GROW UP! This is why most people refrain from posting on this forum because of the infantile behavior that some of you exhibit. For once, lets stay on topic please.

Make a decision with your child. You don’t need others to tell you what to do. We don’t know your child. Yes, some decline the school.

Yes, you are correct. No one on this forum will tell me what I need to do. I will make the decision with my DS. However, I feel that it would be immature of me to think that I and my DS knows it all and has thought of, discussed or researched everything. Other's perspectives may shed light on something that we did not think of or considered. Peoples perspectives will not ultimately determine my decision. However, this due diligence of seeking others viewpoints may provide the one missing ingredient that solidifies what we decide.

This is not the place for that regardless.

The whole world watched 9/11 unfold and the first news early on in the pandemic. The whole world did not sit up and watch the “most famous alum” to come out of prep this morning. Get yourself a life.

NP - any of them who are smart and aware did. But probably not for the common house frau

I'd say that was pretty good advice.

Seems like Prep has recently become a safety school for Episcopalians who couldn't get into STA and like Landon even less. They delude themselves with that "Catholic Lite" nonsense. But the actual Catholics don't buy that and they still can't take communion.
