[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re Catholic, but in public middle.

We’re thinking about Catholic school for high school, but want to make sure that there is a cohort generally speaking that our child could plug into at Northern Virginia Catholics—Paul IV, BI and maybe Bishop O’Connell— and also maybe Gonzaga. I think St Anslem’s is too far/the commute would be draining.

Our DS does not care about sports and loves foreign languages, history, math, science. A.k.a. lots of interest just not sports. I could see him getting into robotics or theater tech as well as maybe like a debate is like super excited to like talk to ICE and to talk brawl yeah, or model, UN etc. More math club, less football team. 😂 I know there are kinds of kids, but want an honest read if these schools could be right.

My husband and I both have experiences with Catholic schools (not in this area) that were not particularly academically challenging and had a “jock” culture. This is a generalization obviously and our experience from many years so trying to figure out what they are like in this area/these days.[/quote]

Shlep up to St. Anselm’s. DS will be grateful.[/quote]
