[quote=Anonymous]Agree with all of the prior posters who noted the well trained voices - the result of a truly marvelous if intense musical education - as well as the excellent time management skills - the result of juggling all that is expected of a St. Albans student to include a rigorous course load and robust in-school sports on top of the grueling Chorister schedule and demands.

The Chorister grads do go on to be mainstays (and not surprisingly often stars) of not only the arts programs, but of every other facet of STA.  The school seems to recognize both the commitment the boys have made to the school through the program, the service they have provided, and the continued contributions they make to the school even after they graduate from the program. They are, after all, walking examples of the Renaissance Man ideal the school strives for in forming all of their boys.  As for the loss of the stipend, as one pp said it, many of the families were millions of dollars away from needing the stipend in the first place.  And when you figure the 35k STA price tag, the stipend is really only a very small drop in the financial bucket.  But for those who needed the stipend to help make ends meet, the school seems to do what it can to make sure that the boys are able to stay on.  It's in the boys' and school's best interests at that point.

OP, if you are exploring the program, good luck.  It is unique and special and will in the end be a life altering experience for your son.  [/quote]
