[quote=Anonymous]You will likely be absolutely fine in the admissions process and at the school. The only religion "requirement" in the admissions process is that you talk about how you are fine with the mass attendance and Catholicism as taught and practiced in the school. The students are not required to profess that they believe in Catholic tenets and Benedictines are not interested in conversions. In the history of the school, 1 student became a monk and 1 student to my knowledge converted from Protestant to Catholic.

I would be more concerned about making sure that your son can balance a serious sports travel team with the homework at SAAS. It's designed not to be overwhelming, but there is a balance and it can be hard to be away all weekend or more than maybe 1 evening a week. That would be of more concern to the admissions team. They want to make sure that the boys are happy and well-balanced at the school.

As long as you think that 1 1/2-2 hours/night of non-busy work with some studying and project work on the weekends can also do the travel sports and get together with friends/chill out/get enough sleep, that's most important. And, of course, that he loves to learn and does well in school now.

It's a very welcoming community![/quote]
