[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former Heights mom here.

This is a school for orthodox Catholics for whom the most important element of their sons' education is making sure he "stays" Catholic and is taught very conservative Catholic values.  Lots of people here who don't believe in birth control.  Seriously.  As previous poster stated, some of the teachers are magical and some are meh.  They hire men (only) of "good character" rather than people who have teaching degrees.  This makes it hit or miss.  It's a very classical education (Latin required, Ancient Greek offered) and my sons were certainly well-prepared for college.

The kids here are generally very sheltered from "the culture," which they fear will poison their young Catholic.

Very chauvinistic environment - moms get little respect.

Don't send your kids here unless your values are closely aligned with die-hard Catholics.  If that's your jam (daily mass, rosary, women wearing smocks, etc), then you will be very happy.

There are more mainstream families that go there but pretty much all republican.  (Not necessarily Trump supporters, though.). Would feel sorry for democrats who tried to join this community (unless they were also super Catholic and pro-ilfe).[/quote]

Thanks for your insight! A question for you- did you feel like there were ppl like you (not smocked, lol)  that you were able to connect with or not so much (or do ppl keep to themselves more) ? Would you have done it again and do you think your boys are better for it (hard question, I guess when you don't know the road untraveled....) [/quote]
