[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some very powerful folks with STRONG STA ties ( read not Beauvoir) who think the school is outsourcing too much of the admissions process to BVR.  There are also some inside STA folks who think BVR kids are not as well prepared as they should be when they move over.  I bet this will become a bigger deal over the next few years. [/quote]

UM, doesn't matter what these "powerful" folks thing about admissions being outsourced to Beauvoir.   The charter of the Cathedral schools requires them to take the majority of C form students from Beauvoir.  That's not going to change.

As for Beauvoir kids not being prepared, that's wishful thinking.  It is a cultural adjustment as Beauvoir's pedagogical approach is much more progressive and experiential than St. Albans, but most kids transition well after the first shock.  Academically, the kids are well-prepared and more creative and resourceful than kids who come out of schools who have a drill and kill approach.[/quote]
