[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This would be for a conservative Catholic family who lives in Va. We can afford independent but child has heard there is more of a fun sports following there and their curriculum also looks good. Straight A student coming from an independent school and child also indicated they want hs closer to home. Thank you.[/quote] I don’t know about its political leanings, but my DS strongly considered it. I’ve had conservative friends send their kids there and I’ve had liberal friends send their kids there, so my guess it has a mix of both. It has a terrific sports culture (one of the reasons my non-sporty DS did not choose it). It’s part of the powerhouse WCAC conference with PVI, Gonzaga, SJC, Ireton, DeMatha etc. One of the top 5 athletic conferences in the country for HS sports. It also has good academics, if you want them, though more of a mix than most of the top independents. Plenty of AP choices and good college placement. [/quote]
