[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do the boys have fun too? The description by parents is so serious, I just wonder if it is a happy place?  [/quote]

What I think makes the school "fun" for the boys is the fact that it is small enough that participation in any activity or sport or interest is possible.

For example, my MS son is an "average" athlete, but given the size of the school he will be able to play two varsity sports in HS (and could play a third if wants to).

In fact, there is a senior who is graduating this week who was a Captain on three different varsity teams!   That level of participation in HS sports is not available at any other Catholic school in the area that I am aware of.

The same is true of all the different clubs and activities -- the numbers are small enough that every boy can (if he wants to) be a leader in his activities of interest.

The "house" system, with its year long academic and intramural competition among the four houses, is also fun for the boys.[/quote]
