[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our son loved his time at SAAS. He is very smart, not quirky, not very athletic but loves to participate as part of a team. We are Christian, but not Catholic. There were numerous Jewish boys there, DS son seemed to roughly be about 50% Catholic. Several parish and public elementary schools were represented. The atmosphere is calm and spiritual, but not overly religious. The work is  hard, the boys study a lot but they form close bonds and there's a 'we're all in this together' mentality. It's a wonderful school for the right boy. Don't expect a lot of differentiation however, the resources simply aren't there. [b]The other caution would be if your son is smart but unmotivated - SAAS is a recipe for disaster.[/b] [/quote]

Interesting that you point this out, when a previous poster (5/18 13:48) mentioned that an "not a self motivator."  I actually felt that in addition to being somewhat rude, the PP's description of that boy, from the "motivation" standpoint, was not a typical SAAS student.[/quote]
YMMV, but when DS was there smart but unmotivated was a recipe to struggle. Some of those boys got with the program, but not without some disastrous grades. Others transferred out. Seemed more prevalent with those who came in 9th as they coasted thru MS.[/quote]
