[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a kid is smart and athletic, why would you go to that school over schools like STA, Sidwell, et al?[/quote] Some of the possible reasons include: 1. Tuition at SAAS is about $25,000 per year, so $100,000 less over grades 6-12 than most other top private schools 2. It is a Catholic school (60% Roman Catholic students) for those looking for that particular religious environment 3. It is small enough to allow an athletic boy to be a real standout (rather than perhaps being a role player at a larger more athletically oriented school) or perhaps allow him to play 2 or 3 sports rather than having to focus on only one sport at another HS. 4. It is an academically-oriented school but not a "pressure cooker" type of academic environment Of course certain families may have other reasons for considering SAAS such as geographic proximity, access to nearby metro, financial aid package, older siblings at the school, etc. [/quote]
