[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the OP either, but also Catholic too.  Apart from the Opus Dei affiliation, how does the Heights compare with schools like Georgetown Prep and Gonzaga?  I really like its reputation of developing character in its students.  What is it student body like?  Academics?[/quote]
Heights is different because they span lower, middle and high school. The curriculum in upper school is similar to GP.  Physical activity is important and the boys get ample opportunities to develop both mind and body. They are not a sports powerhouse but the boys do OK. My son is not sports oriented at all but he is having a great time at Heights. The boys are curious and encouraged to discuss topics, engage in learning and it is a place where it is safe to be smart. The best is to visit the school. If you go to the website you will find PDF of the curriculum for lower, middle and upper schools. It is a traditional environment. There is no calling teachers by their first name, no sitting on the floor or in the window, etc. [/quote]
