[quote=Anonymous]OP - I think both are great and I think your son should choose. Have them start making pros/cons lists - this can include curriculum, lunch, length of day, all boys/code, teaching style, campus...whatever. One thing I'll add that others haven't mentioned, but my DS noticed (and has been confirmed by friends who attended) was the importance of sports teams at St Albans. Sidwell has great teams but, as a whole, sports doesn't have the same culture at Sidwell as it takes on at St Albans. Also, athletic requirements, I believe are much more time consuming at St Albans. For kids that love team bonding and consider the sport as downtime, maybe this is time well spent. Some boys thrive in this sort of culture. For others, it's a stressor on top of academic requirements and may not love a culture that is sports heavy (even if they play on multiple HS teams). It's not good or bad in general, but it could be good or bad for a specific child.[/quote]
