[quote=Anonymous]I must say that I agree with the previous post that after someone's child has gotten into a school of their parents' choice, suddenly parents begin to advise others to find a school that "fits your child". I'm not sure that any of us really know which school will be the best fit for our child -- since the little exposure that we get from the tours of the schools is not very revealing. Basically, we see if the school meets our expectations or not and then we apply.

Moreover, I would be surprised if any child had more than 3 outright acceptances -- that child would be very very lucky to have such a wide choice.

I'm sure St. Albans is a great school -- a great fit for some and not for others. But in order to figure that out, you would need to assess things such as your kid's love of sports, how much HW he can put up with, how much reading he can do easily, etc. But this is all theoretical until you get him in and then you can begin calling parents at the school and asking them these questions.[/quote]
