[quote=Anonymous]We are an incoming family.  They talked about how they do things to make the big school feel smaller,  such as an advisory 3 times a week. The counselors seem to have more bandwidth than those in MCPS,  which is our point of comparison.  For students that seek out help from teachers, there is time built into the day to meet. Nowhere is perfect but we are feeling optimistic and more importantly so is our kid. Hopefully he will advocate for himself and use the resources that are made available.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Larger class size is one of the reasons GC is $30K (with lunch) and not $40K.

Smaller class size requires more teachers which increases costs.

If the difference between a Catholic high school and a public high school aren’t obvious, then no one on here is going to explain it to you. Catholics want their faith and community and family traditions reinforced. If those things aren’t important to you, Catholic schools aren’t for you.

The schools exist for these purposes and not to supply non-Catholics with more budget friendly alternatives to public schools. That may be why some struggle to understand.

Umm, I am Catholic and went to Catholic schools my whole life.  But thanks for explaining.  And there are actually plenty of smaller Catholic schools around. But if you want a diluted version that emulates a big public high school, that's your choice.[/quote][/quote]
