[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think of it just as an identifier "My kids are at the Cathedral Schools" (Maybe one at Beauvoir and 2 at NCS or something) while other folks say "Catholic schools" or others "Montgomery County schools."  They are all 3 separate schools but there is no denying the closeness of their students.  I would venture that the majority of students that have siblings would have them at one of the Cathedral schools - especially those families that started out at Beauvoir.

I never see it used if someone is only referring to single gender schools - "We're applying to Landon, Mater Dei and the the Cathedral Schools" . . .  That wouldn't make sense.[/quote]

Well since, as noted, "Cathedral" is taken by many to mean NCS, saying "We're applying to Landon, Mater Dei and the the Cathedral Schools" would be VERY strange becuase Landon and Mater Dei are all boys schools and NCS is an all girls school --- I've yet to see someone who could apply to all.

On the other hand, it is common to hear "We're applying to Holton, Viz and  Cathedral."

Not denying that NCS and STA have a close sister/brother school realationship -- perhaps the closest of single gender schools, but we all know that these are single gender schools (which doesn't mean cloistered)[/quote]
