[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the point is that it's grads are extremely well prepared to do college work in terms of self disciplined study habits, organization...that they write very well.

Part of our process as a family during the college application process was that  we asked recent grads how the transition to college went. For our son, we asked this of recent grads who matriculated at Stanford, Georgia Tech, Yale, U of Chicago and MIT. Their responses were universally, " I felt prepared" and " it was not as hard as I had anticipated" or " it was very manageable"

I've also have work colleagues who ask about where our kids attend and then respond with a story to the effect of " Oh, yeah my room mate in college went there and.. WOW... was that kid organized ". Adults hiring have also commented that STA grads have very strong public speaking skills. The lifelong friendships comment is the one that seems to rise to the top the most.

Certainly the new Headmaster is genuinely dedicated to improving the degree to which every student feels welcome. His humility shows that.

Its an excellent school and I guess in some unhappy circles that attracts envy, but for many families the high academic standards and the emphasis on character education is something they are very pleased with. Best of luck to your family in your search.

Love you how you "snuck in" the part that diverse families asking about the atmosphere at the cathedral schools is just a product of good old fashioned jealousy. Real cute. [/quote]
