[quote=Anonymous]I went to Collegiate and send DS there now.

Graduated in the 2000s -- I can vouch that even though there was tremendous wealth and privilege there, the small student body size and the school's focus on the value of education meant that we were all focused on just learning and growing. Yes we knew whose parents did what but that kind of background rarely tainted day-to-day interactions. In my class, there wasn't a social heirarchy based on wealth. Smarts were valued. I was on financial aid and didn't feel left out of the school community.

In deciding to send DS there I first spoke with alumni who send their kids there and returning alumni who teach at the school. I did visits myself to look at the way the students interact.

My assessment is that the same outcomes remain -- the school is very much rooted in providing an excellent boys education focused on teaching great critical thinking, thoughtfulness, and providing kids with a strong sense of self to tackle the world post-graduation.

While some parents may be on the higher end of the showiness spectrum, the student body doesn't seem to be. Do your own tour and just look at the backpacks and jackets that line the hallways and how the kids dress and interact with each other.
