[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only have experience at Gonzaga so this is my take - Gonzaga is great for boys who are energetic, athletic and outgoing. Not the most diverse school but I believe they try to be. Many opportunities to expand one's world. My son has become passionate about social justice and carries goodie bags for the homeless he encounters near the school (so many!!). He was able to be placed in the fast math track and as a senior, taking Linear Algebra/Multivariate Calc. His experience at the school has been nothing short of amazing.

I only know of one boy at St. Anslem's and he's thriving as well. He's a much quieter boy than mine but also intellectually curious and well rounded. I think it depends on the boy and their interests / personality. [/quote]
I’ll add that my DS was not particularly energetic or outgoing and swims (not sure if that fits the “athletic” description). But I love how he matured, evolved, emerged, whatever, during his time at Gonzaga. The confidence-building just warms my heart. He was 100% prepared to move on, was accepted to a far better college than we ever imagined for him, and he’s doing great so far in his freshman year. Gonzaga’s tent is bigger than people give it credit for. [/quote]
