[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, we're looking at SJC for our son. Hoping families with students there now could kindly answer a few questions...any information would be most appreciated!

- do you recommend the Entrepreneurial Center program? our son is interested in that.
- are there supports for kids with executive functioning challenges/ADHD?
- is it hard to get admitted for non-Catholics coming from a non-Catholic school?
- how would you compare the school and its culture to Good Counsel?

Thank you![/quote]

The Entrepreneurial Program is an extracurricular club essentially so he can join and attend some meetings his freshman year to see if he likes it.  
My older DS went to GC while my DD cureently goes to SJC.  It really depends on the child's personality and where they fit.  Regarding school culture, GC is more suburban feel.  Located off the ICC, it feeds from 100 schools (Frederick to Bowie) with many students actually living close by.  For my son, his friends were spread out and it was hard building strong friendships. We lived in Germantown/Darnestown.  My DD on the other hand has a lot of friends in Chevy Chase NW and Arlington and it's easier with her set of friends to meet in metro accessible locations for all.  One thing to note is SJC has home football games typically on Saturday afternoon.  [/quote]
