[quote=Anonymous]It's less southern than it used to be. Lots of NY/New England families have discovered it and use it as a backup school for the elite northeast boarding schools. Many families like that Episcopal is not as intense as top prep schools such as Andover, Choate, Exeter, etc. There's a lot of freedom afforded to students. The downside is that there's a clear social stratification, and "popular" kids separate themselves and leave campus, which is the negative of having a major city nearby. Boarding schools in rural environments have more camaraderie. It's not a pressure cooker school. The academics are on par with a strong local public school. It doesn't have the rigor or depth of the elite new england schools. It's more of a country club vibe.[/quote]
