That's cause so many of the boys are proud chauvinists.

Nice way to deflect and totally untrue. My son is at STA and neither he nor his classmates in the upper school are chauvinists. NCS is an utter crap show compared to STA. It is common knowledge that STA is a better envirnment for students in every way. Its no surprise that many STA boys' sisters go to Holton, Potomac, SR, Visi, and other schools with better balance and morals and behavior. The ONLY thing about NCS that makes it a top school is its rigorous and greuling academics. Its social enviroment is toxic.

I'm sorry if you feel this way but honestly you have no right to go after the school or students like that. It may be true in the younger divisions of the school, such as lower and middle, that the social environment is problematic. However, the upper division - the reason NCS has its reputation as a top school, is actually very supportive of one another. All of the girls there seem to understand the kind of pressure and duress each of them face and for the most part are very encouraging. In response to the bit regarding chauvinists, that actually is an accurate view point. Although that characteristic is seen in most boys schools. I feel that the girls at NCS do face quite a bit more of objectification and sexualization from the other side of the close - but that could just be because most boys schools don't have that close of contact with their sister schools, unlike NCS and STA who have classes and sports with each other. The relationship between NCS and STA has been strained for a long time now and both sides are to blame. The "toxicity" of NCS is not coming from the students as much as it is the faculty. The staff at NCS is constantly reminding the girls how they should act around STA boys and have to take many health and wellness courses over their time at the school while at St. Albans they only have to take one throughout their entire career. The girls are constantly being whipped into shape to a point where it really affects them while it seems like the boys have a total lack of awareness as well as discipline.
