[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I looked into the Heights because I strongly value a classical education, love the outdoor time, and have friends there. Unfortunately, I do not think we are the right kind of Catholics for this school. The Heights and Opus Dei in general have very different values from Jesuit schools. [b]There are so many things to like about the school but I absolutely did not feel comfortable sending my kids there.[/b] As far as academics go, people need to understand that the Heights - really, most Catholic schools other than independent schools like Georgetown Prep - will deliberately take a wider range of academic abilities than a typical selective private. These schools value the community and include members that might not be accepted if the only criterion were academic ability. Academics are strong but you are not going to see the more uniformly driven students that you see in the DC independent schools. [/quote] Can you elaborate more on this? [/quote]
