[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We will be a new SSSA family(US) this Fall, and I am well aware of the Belle Haven culture, but I am encouraged by the new Headmaster, who is apparently a big STEM advocate and I believe the school is trying to change.  For those who go there wanting to join the "in" crowd, you will be out of luck.  For those who go just wanting a great education for your kid, and you meet who you meet - you'll be fine.  [/quote]

Doesn't matter who the new Headmaster is.  SSSAS has some great kids, but the culture there (e.g. Belle Haven moms, emphasis on girls lacrosse and other sports, etc.) will never change.[/quote]

Here we go again, every single SSSAS thread brings out the same basher re girls lacrosse  and sports.  OMG, you need to move on, your MO is getting old and sad a la chipotle lady[/quote]

^^ Ha! Sadly, there are many of us who have had poor experiences with the school and left. Our family left the school too, and we don't miss the Belle Haven silliness, because that is what it is. We didn't leave the school because of it, but we don't miss it. Another poster had a great point about other DC privates having less noticeable cliques because they pull from a wider metro area is true, and frankly, it's healthier for everyone.[/quote]
