[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bump. Considering these two schools for a boy who cares about being among classmates who care about their learnin[b]g. But he is also a typical boy who doesn’t love doing endless hours of homework.[/b] [/quote]

That’s a joke, right?

[b]Both schools involve endless hours of homework in Upper School.[/b] Sidwell is more intensely competitive. STA does a better job of trying to create some balance and encourages camaraderie among all the boys, the famed “brotherhood.”

Sidwell has a greater density of cutthroat parents.STA has more MAGAs..

STA is more informed by Episcopalianism than Sidwell is by Quakerism.

STA is better run.

This has not been my son's experience with upper school at STA.  He works hard but it's not an endless amount--generally 1-2 hours of homework nightly and he does very well and is taking the top rigor courses. 
I had a daughter graduate from NCS and she had endless homework.  That was an entirely different situation. [/quote]
