[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks all! These are very helpful answers! We’re not Catholic, but I was worried about Holton’s elitist culture (which, to be fair, I have mainly heard about on DCUrbanMom).  [/quote]

Stone Ridge also can be described as having an "elitist culture," just a different flavor. If I had a non-wealthy, non-Catholic DD, Holton would be my choice.[/quote]

I respectfully disagree. We are non-wealthy and non-catholic, and my DD is a first generation American. She joined SR from a public school two years ago. It's been a fantastic experience for her. Its a great community with a strong sense of value; not the phony value progressive schools preach and lecture you all day long, but rather a strong sense of whole person and true inclusive heart. We considered Holton and visi and eventually landed at SR. I am sure HA and Visi are both great schools, but I respectfully disagree with the quoted statement.

Especially as an immigrant family, we are sensitive to true inclusion vs. inclusion-veneer. Stone Ridge gave us the strongest sense of an inclusive community. From admissions office to teachers to fellow students, everyone has been the most pleasant to her and to our family. She has regained her confidence and she is excelling academically. [/quote]
