[quote=Anonymous]My daughter was recently accepted to both schools.  We ended up choosing SR. You will know which one you prefer once you start touring. (The acceptance ceremony at Holton was very “Stepfordish). One thing that I wanted to note for clarification is that SR is an independent Catholic school, so it does not have the “old school” traditions that some have mentioned. In fact, more than half of my daughter’s class is not Catholic.  The curriculum at both schools is about the same (high level); however, Holton is known to be a pressure cooker.  Most girls do not need such an approach to succeed.  SR focuses on the whole student, which is very easy to see when you observe the students at both schools.  There are many SR moms who graduated from Holton, but are sending their daughters to SR. That should tell you plenty. For the most part, the sense of entitlement and elitism does not exist at SR- even though the parents are successful.  Furthermore, hands down, SR’s campus and facilities are better.[/quote]
