[quote=Anonymous]In terms of what it's like - it's a good atmosphere. The school does a lot to create community. There is an emphasis on sports, but non sporty kids have activities and clubs, too. THere's a strong art and performing art program. It is a Catholic school - there is a lot of prayer. There are retreats at the Pope John Paul II center in DC. There is a call and response prayer before every class. Many teachers pray in class. Teachers seem caring and involved. It is MUCH more academically rigorous than Deal. Assignments must be handed in on time or there is a penalty (or they are not accepted late) - that was the biggest change my Deal kid did not expect. [/quote]
