[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t find it at all ironic that a school that preaches “the neuroscience of learning” is not able to support neurodivergent students?[/quote]

Actually no, I don’t find it ironic. SAES is a small school and I don’t think it’s realistic to expect a school of that size to meet the needs of any/all students. As is, there is a pretty wide range of students’ abilities (as previous posts have mentioned some kids take all honors, other all on grade level). It’s important to be honest with yourself and the school regarding your student’s needs. [/quote]

St. Andrew's needs to be honest with itself.  It tries to pass off as a prestigious Episcopal school, but it is more similar to a Catholic diocesan high school.  There is nothing special with the way they teach.  Also, the class sizes are larger than the top privates in the metropolitan area.[/quote]

Upper School parent here and I have never felt that SAES was trying to pass itself off as anything other than a school focused on providing a college preparatory education rooted in an Episcopalian faith. We are confident that DC is getting a very solid education and having a positive high school experience in and out of the classroom. I'm not sure what PP means with the comparison to Catholic diocesan high school although they clearly intended it as a negative. As for class sizes--there are just shy of 400 kids in the upper school, with 95-98 per grade. That is a great size for our DC. [/quote]
