[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DC is attending MS of one of the three (LB, CH and McD) originally mentioned.  There are others to consider as well to find the right fit.  Boys' Latin of Baltimore and St. Paul's Schools (Brooklandville).  You mentioned OLGC which has the IB Diploma program - St. Paul's apparently is unfortunately phasing it out.[/quote]

I have heard this about St. Paul’s any reasoning behind it? [/quote]

Yes - they aren’t preparing boys to pass. DS graduated in past 5 years. About 28 kids were full diploma candidates but only 4 actually got the diploma. It was that summer that the grad announced discontinuation. It’s too bad - was a great program and instead of trying to improve academics, the school simply got rid of classes with hard, standardized tests. [/quote]

That’s really a shame. My son graduated from SP about 10 years ago and the IB Program was fantastic preparation for success in college

It’s also a shock that a school that had so many long-tenured teacher-coaches has seen such huge turnover in a decade. Son says the College Counselor is literally the only teacher or staff member he still knows in the Upper School. Middle School has done better, I think that’s the best part of the school [/quote]
