[quote=Anonymous]Thank you to the posters who pointed out that I was very likely responding to an old Toth post. The thought that I asked him to email me off line scares me to death. Wow, I can see how he conned parents if it was his MO to critique St. Albans as in the post referred to here.

My questions for St. Alban's parents: I have talked with many in person and I have also talked with boys who are there and just sort of watched how they act in public: they look and act like boys. Not much yield  there.I have talked with alumnae who are in their 5th and 6th decades of life about what has stayed with them about the place all these years later. Many have said that they learned how to use the English language , but that isn't the same as saying," I loved it there" , "I loved my teachers" or "I have so many friends who are friends for life from my time there" or "it was such a great community" All of those characterizations might be true , but this is not the first thing that they say.

So, STA parents and/or STA students please share: What do you think is exceptional about the place? What about it do you love?

I can see it is a beautiful school and I can read the test results on- line but that doesn't tell me what it is like for a 10 year old boy to walk those halls. Mine are strong students, well liked and well mannered, but I do so want them to be happy and grow up with a healthy self esteem.[/quote]
