[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not the school that gets the kid in to college. It's the kid that gets the kid in to college.  [/quote]

It's the kid that gets the kid into TJ. Or into St. Albans and the ilk if we're talking about 9th grade - as opposed to K - entrance.[/quote]

"A top 20 University President told me once, its not our cirriculum, faculty, or endowment that make us great. Its our admissions department"

Lot of truth in that, even at k-12[/quote]

And St. Albans wouldn't disagree at all.  They still can be complimented for building a school that draws a strong cohort (even as other threads on this site bemoan the fact that their admissions office doesn't "do more" for the lacrosse program).[/quote]

They are really an impressive group of boys. My wife went to the sister school of jockier school that believes itself a peer school. She said the STA boys were gentleman. The brother schools were not. Like NCS, its tough, they dont grade inflate, but the kids are close, respect each others talents, and are very diverse in their interests and talents. Under the shadow of the Cathedral, these kids seem to move on with strong values. The exmits are great, but more than that, they produce great people.
