[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Data on this is weirdly high .. like only 60% finish. In so many other ways it's a match for DC.  But having a quirky kid is one thing, and having a quirky drop out is another.  I dont want to protect the downside.

Any personal experience or explanation? [/quote]

Has your child thought about any career after St. John's College ?

As an aside: We just drove around the Santa Fe campus--beautiful location. Dozens of outstanding restaurants and over a hundred art galleries nearby.[/quote]

I've known some grads and some drop outs. Medical and law school, politics and programming are big, career-wise. I think it's a school that recognizes that the undergraduate experience is actually an experience, and not just a diploma-making machine. Really smart kids need different toolsets sometimes, and being trained to question and being trained to learn is not a bad idea for some--a lot have already mastered all the technical stuff.

I know we're at peak unfashionable now, but these pendulums swing back around, and having a literate population is important. [/quote]
