[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a waitlist at every grade for The Heights? 
I saw the other thread about only taking 5 new boys at an intake grade. Ouch! (Almost all places go to siblings, children of alumni and faculty.) 
It’s discouraging that they offer a great but inaccessible school. Why get unhooked families excited just to reject them?

Yes.Yes. The house is extremely popular because it is the only ultra conservatives left. The Heights is extremely popular because it is the only ultra conservative school in the DMV. The school is extremely popular because it is the only ultra conservative school so people have few extra conservative choices. For that reason, people who want an ultra conservative, ultra Catholic, old fashioned style upbringing for their children will pick the Heights and if they get in, they will accept they have an excellent yield![/quote]
It’s a school for the good old boys? PP is incorrect in stating there is a shortage of those.  There are plenty in the DMV.  Maybe the Heights is more open about it, but we have plenty institutions around here that are “ultra conservative”.[/quote]

Yes, but none of them are as conservative is the Heights. The Heights is unapologetically Opus Dei . And a literal translation of the old and new testaments is not only taught but also intertwined in the curriculum. It’s very likely that you will hear Heights mom’s saying “boys will be boys. “[/quote]
