[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here , DS does play a sport and part of a classical orchestra . Has a few friends going to Prep but knows a few kids at Potomac . We are not Catholic - he shadowed both and liked both but preferred Potomac . The commute to the school and back in VA makes me nervous even if they have a great bus system! [/quote]

It’s as if the Catholic aspect of Prep is some minor attribute.

For many of the parents who send their sons there it’s a very important thing. The great majority of the students, alumni, teachers and staff are Catholics. The school is owned by a Catholic religious order, is headed by a Jesuit priest and adheres to Jesuit educational principles. Catholic religious ceremonies are mandatory parts of the experience.

The student body interacts/dates/hangs out mostly with girls who go to Catholic schools (SR, Visi, AHC and Holy Child).

And yet this core attribute of the school is traded-off somehow against an easier commute.[/quote]

Very true. And parents who send their DS to Prep because of the faith (and that's most of the parents), the Catholic culture and how it is lived is crucial. The students are reminded to "see God in all things".[/quote]
