[quote=Anonymous]Your teachers and coaches truly care about your work and growth into a young man. The school's various activities like lunch and chapel are structured around developing this relationship.

No student flaunts his wealth and many come from fairly typical middle and upper middle class families (by DC standards).

The facilities were already among the best in the region and the renovated and expanded campus is nothing short of breathtaking--a modern architectural masterpiece that jibes well with the school's pedagogy.

Class-organized meetings could be quite candid. No school is perfect and students were encouraged to criticize the school, its policies, whatever.

Students are encouraged to express themselves within the dress code. You can come to school in plaid pants if that's your thing.

The St. Albans News back page used to be quite funny! NCS was on the receiving end of many of those jokes.

In conclusion, St. Albans is the only independent school in this city that I would ever consider for my future family. Either StA or a strong public high school. I do admire the sense of neighborhood pride at some of the local public high schools, but in terms of academics, athletics, community, and a strong sense of tradition St. Albans can't be beat.

Good topic, but that's the extent of my contribution. Some of the topics and comments on this forum are a bit disconcerting. What's the deal with the "Getting into St. Albans thread?" There honestly is no secret to getting in. If you think you'd be a good fit based on what you know about the school, then apply, and good luck.
