[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid at Regis and we looked at Xavier. We have the money, but I was never going to spend 60k+ a year for k-12 so didn't really look at other privates, but obviously know a ton of families there.

1 Turns out, I'm a fan of the all boy thing. They know what they're doing - and I assume Xavier is similar. For example, we get very little communication and the boys are forced to up their executive function game if they dont want to miss a spring break service trip or election. And they do .. some more slowly the others.

2. I like the jesuit thing. I like the idea of service and the "whole person" idea.

3. I dont like the bro thing, and Xavier is probably worse than Regis on this. But it's all a world better than it was in the 90s. If kids are gay, nobody cares. But it can be a little crass in general.

4. They boys schools walk the kids through social stuff. They organize dances with sister schools. They really encourage casual dances and then date dances. For my kid, it was good.

5. Socially, I think they're a little "slower" than $$$ private schools, which I like.

6. not so much a rich and poor divide, although dont be fooled - there are millionaires everywhere.

7. Can't speak to the academics, but I'm sure they're solid. And there is a pathway to schools like BC etc.

Xavier used to have an open house before apps went in. I'd attend. GL!
