[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are AHC and St John’s Episcopal like? I realize now that I’d assumed AHC is quite conservative, but I don’t know anyone there, so I have no idea what it’s actually like. [/quote]

I am the person who added AHC.  I don't know anything about St. John's Episcopal, other than that it ends at 8th and AHC begins at 9th so the same kid wouldn't be choosing between them.

Obviously, there are lot of differences between AHC and SSFS.  AHC is single sex, high school only.  Students wear uniforms. Also, of course Catholicism and Quakerism are two different religions. AHC has a fair amount of political diversity, I suspect more than SSFS.

But there's also a lot the same.  Both are schools that have strong commitment to social justice, and community service.  Both are schools that allow kids to have balance, to try different things.   Both celebrate the whole child.  Both accept and support kids with varied strengths and weaknesses, rather than only the top performers.  Both are small enough schools that every child is known, and big enough schools to offer a variety of experiences.

If you have a high school aged daughter, I think AHC is worth exploring.
