[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] As a non-Catholic I would be concerned about fitting in for both my kid and for us as a family. We had a son play youth lacrosse for Club Blue and definitely felt the families and kids were very friendly and nice, but also felt very outside their group. I had only positive impressions of the GP families we met, but I also felt in the end that immersing our son at GP as a non-Jesuit would be a poor fit. GP seems very much a religious oriented school.

This poster has it right.

There are some non-Catholics at Prep. And it helps to be an athlete in one of the sports they care about (football, basketball or lacrosse). And as Grandma has observed, people are polite.

But as far as the kids or your family fitting in, well that's more difficult. The native DC Catholics frequently know one another, went to school with one another and may even be related. Breaking into that circle isn't easy.

These high schools play a critical role in keeping this community together. Many, if not most, believe that where you go to high school is more important than where you go to college.[/quote]
