[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All boy Catholic schools are creepy, imo.  Why shelter then from the real world where girls exist and you have to interact with them? [/quote]

Yeah, I used to think this way in the abstract about single-sex schools. Then we found a particular all-boys school that was a good fit for our son; other all-boys schools would have not have been as ideal of a fit. There were two co-ed schools we liked equally as well and were accepted to, but the particular all-boys school was a much easier commute for us and about $15K cheaper, so we weighed all the variables and decided on the all-boys school. I’m sure there will be some impact (good or bad), but that’s life and otherwise well-adjusted people can learn to navigate new environments as they encounter them.

And as a practical matter, girls are regular presence on campus as part of the drama program and dances. More important to me is that my son have a critical mass of female authority figures, which the school does. I would not send my son to a school that does not employ female instructors.[/quote]
