[quote=Anonymous]Hi -- Both my kids attend Holy Trinity. I have one in the lower school and the other in the middle school. I don't have the exact numbers but in looking through the yearbook I was impressed at where these kids go. Madeira, ERHS science and tech, Visitation, Sidwell, DeMatha, Bullis, Indian Creek, Gonzaga, Holton Arms etc.

As for the comment that HT is not particularly rigorous, I have found the opposite to be true. Many  found 5th grade so rigorous in fact that the parents needed a support group themselves to help their kids deal with the workload.

At the lower school level, it is not like that. I think kids in the primary grades at HT are taught what is developmentally appropriate. Many schools, I think, in response to parental pressure, introduce concepts that kids are not yet ready to learn because it impresses prospective parents who want to see that their money is being well-spent. Holy Trinity really focuses on the development of the whole child -- moral, education, physical, the arts. I really love what my kids have gotten there. I have two very different kids and they meet them both where they are.

I would agree about HT being rule-oriented. There is a lot of structure and that even applies to paying your tuition bill. Can't argue with that.
