[quote=Anonymous]STA pushes boys to be their best while offering a variety of ways to shine, whether it's student leadership, academic honors, the fine and performing arts, or sports. There is no question these students are beyond academically prepared for college when they graduate. Good grades are not handed out at STA, they are earned. Boys are allowed to "mess up" (read: forget to turn in homework, blow off a quiz), but they are also held accountable and re-directed as needed. The thing we are parents like the most is that every single boy learns "soft skills", such as how to hold conversations with adults and how to advocate for themselves. The chapel talks are always engaging and thoughtful and give the boys a chance to learn and experience empathy in a peer setting. No school is perfect, but our son is really happy there. [/quote]
