[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is sharp, athletic, social, and rises to meet high expectations.  St. Albans feels like a great fit all the way around.  But, of course, he might not get in.  The other schools we looked at this year -- Sidwell, GDS & Maret -- don't feel as right (to him or to us).  We're trying to figure out which schools we should be sure to see in the fall as we work through where else he should apply.  Many thanks in advance for any thoughts from those who have been here before.[/quote]

Landon, Georgetown Prep, and Potomac are all essentially interchangeable with St Albans.  Check out whichever of those is closest to your house.  You could also consider St Anselm's and Gonzaga, but they have a slightly different feel than St Albans, so although not so completely interchangeable as the others in terms of academics and attitude, they may be options for you.  Good luck.[/quote]

Well, I wouldn't say Potomac is "interchangeable," exactly -- the single sex vs. co-ed difference is of course a big one; but there are probably some similarities in approach.[/quote]
