[quote=Anonymous]Our sons take the bus from Alexandria, and it is fine. All ages are on board...many 3rd graders in addition to middle school and one or two high school. Many sleep in the morning, the afternoon is spent chatting or reading. There are faculty who ride (they use it to commute from VA too!) and they help keep things under control. Daily mass is not required after 5th grade. It is optional, and many of the middle/upper school boys prefer to use that period as a study hall (they also sell egg/bacon bagel sandwiches during that time and the hungry teens usually get those instead of going to mass). Only a very few teachers are Opus Dei (10 of 70), and I would imagine not many of those are numeraries. We are run of the mill Catholics, and while not interested in joining Opus Dei (and not at all afraid of it either), we think the freedom and growth opportunities the school gives boys are unmatched, and we are thrilled to have our boys there.[/quote]
