[quote=Anonymous]To the PP who wanted a comparison between MCPS and St Anselm's-- Can't beat small class sizes but where St. Anselm's shines is in the effort the teachers make to get to know every student, not something possible in public or in the larger private schools. They teachers at St. Anselm's seem to be there because they really, really like teaching bright kids. Homework is substantive, it isn't just about loading on what they didn't have time to cover in class, or equating lots of homework with lots of learning. My son had more homework in MS at St. Anselm's than our neighbors attending MCPS, but he was also far beyond these same kids academically. The academic challenge can even out in HS but no comparison at the MS level. At St. Anselm's your son will do a lot more writing than at MCPS, because the teachers have time to edit and return for a rewrite, which they will again correct and return for more revisions.
