[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Over 2 years and 1200 replies later, the longetivity of this thread is astounding.  Can someone fill me in - what's so special about St. Albans.  I know enough to know it offers a top notch education.  But so do many other independent schools.  I also am somewhat perplexed by the apparent absence of a similar obsession when it comes to St. Albans' sister-school, NCS.  [/quote]

Reply: I think people ask because many of us did not attend a  single sex private school and , as someone pointed out, we are women who were once girls, not boys. Given that lack of perspective,  it is very hard to imagine the shoes that our boys will have to walk in if we send them to STA.So, before we make such a major choice for our sons we want to have feedback from other mothers of boys who see their kid every day before and after school , witness their joys and their struggles and parent them through .

You are right in that there are many other privates, they all cost about the same and all have  a rigorous academic environment. They are not however all single sex.
