[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those whose sons attend, do they like it?  Can you describe a typical kid?  Love that it's catholic and highly academic.  Why did you chose this school over Gonzaga or Georgetown Prep? [/quote]

My son likes it and we love it.

GP was too far away (we are in Virginia) and too expensive.

And while Gonzaga is excellent academically for high school we wanted to move our kid in middle school because we could see that he was not being challenged.

Turns out that we were right about moving him as his grades went up at SAAS -- despite the huge increase in academic rigor and volume of work --  and his attitude towards school has improved.  He is fully engaged and intellectually challenged.

We like that SAAS is small and that the teachers and administrators know the kids as individuals.

Our son has become an active participant both in the classroom and in other school activities (sports, clubs, etc.).   I could be wrong but I don't think that would happen at a school with 1200 boys.     [/quote]
