[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know that numbers-wise, STA is a diverse school. How does it work in practice. Do the non-white, non-Christians fit in?[/quote] Re: non-Christians, the chapel program is really more moral/ethical than Episcopalian in feel -- most of the homilies are from boys or faculty members sharing what is important to them. Re: students of color, they are well-represented in elected leadership positions, active in the arts and sports, and I think most would say they've made good and real friendships with a good cross-section of their class. If you ask me, the biggest challenge comes from the level of affluence -- students of any race/ethnicity from modest financial backgrounds can run into some (generally) unconscious insensitivity about disparities in income level, possessions, etc. Good feel overall, though -- by senior year when the boys talk about classmates as being their "brothers" they seem to really mean it.
