[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The drive from Arlington to that part of Maryland is awful in traffic and only getting worse. Your kid would be spending quite a lot of time in the car and would live far away from most of his friends which is tough socially. [/quote] I agree. Our boys had a great experience at Mater Dei and I'm a supporter. But as good as it was, I wouldn't sign up to drive them morning and night from Arlington. There are so few kids at Mater Dei from that areas that carpooling is a low probability. The great majority are from Bethesda-Potomac-Kensington. If they are from Virginia, it's Great Falls or McLean. My boys didn't enjoy Mater Dei every day. The almost all male teacher group is relatively tough on them. Or maybe a better word is "demanding". They are not as sensitive as some other places. They are far less likely to accept excuses and listen less to complaints. I thought that was good preparation for life. [/quote]
