[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who attend this school appear to come from 3 camps:

1.  Those families focused on attending a DC school with a strong academic reputation, but get rejected by STA, Sidwell, etc.

2.  People who want their kid to attend a strong academic school, but can't afford the STA, Sidwell, etc. price tag

3.  Catholic families whose kids would never see the field at STA, Sidwell, NCS, etc.[/quote]

Lots of other  "camps" choosing SAAS besides the three you posit.  For us it was really a choice among the many good Catholic schools in the DC area -- i.e. our local Catholic HS, Gonzaga, or SAAS.    After seeing all three schools, St. Anselm's just seemed like the best fit academically and personality wise for our son.

We had absolutely no interest in even looking at STA or Sidwell, and sports team considerations likewise had nothing to do with our choice (though our son is a two sport athlete at SAAS).

Agree with above.  The PP who listed the three camps is way off base.  I would say those three camps most likely represent a very small percentage of the student body.  The majority are Catholic families looking for best fit for their sons.  Most of these families did not even consider STA, Sidwell or other non-Catholic schools.  I know that is hard to believe for some.[/quote]
