[quote=Anonymous]My Daughter applied and attended for 11th and 12th grade. She has done very well there and will graduate with a 4.5 GPA haven taken very rigrous Advanced and Honors Classes.  She is graduating in the top 10% of her class and got accepted into UVA, UNC, Tulane, William and Mary, UT Austin, Colgate, NYU and Yale.  She will be attending Yale in the Fall at a cost that will be less than our Flagship State School, UVA.  She loved Episcopal and did well academically and socially.  She was allowed to nurture both her academic and artistic side.  The boarding is going to pay off big as she attends college in the Fall as she has had experience living away from parents and has had to self manage her study time vs. social time.  She made lifelong friends and will definitely be an ambassor and champion of the school in yearss to come.  Highly recommend it for diversity (it has changed alot from when I was in High School in the late 80s).  There are kids of every ethnic background and from all over the world.  Financial aid was very generous and allowed her to experience overseas trips and study abroad that we likely would not have been able to afford in our family.  My child attended public school all through 10th grade and her experience at a Loudon County High School is what led her to look for another place to attend.  I'm glad we figured out how to afford it and I'm glad she was able to have the experience.  It is controlled freedom - the kids have alot of freedom to make choices.  I find the kids who do drugs, drink and are sexually promiscuous would be that way no matter where they attended school, so if thats your kid, you may want to keep a closer eye on them.  Not my story and my child in on a trajectory to do exceedingly well into her future.  Episcopal played a very huge part in that.
