[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like the elephant in the room is that the President's youngest attends SAES. It might be a pain dealing with security. It might not be. At his old school in NYC, some parents found it annoying when the mother and her security detail took up an entire elevator, which forced others to have to wait. Of course, there are worse things in life. But the bottom line is you might want to think about inconveniences due to that.

I found it strange no one mentioned that.

To others, I know, it's a draw to have that happening at a school.

But it's good to know about before you pick, so you can decide if you care one way or the other.

I went to school with Chelsea. Maybe things have changed since then, but there were zero inconveniences from secret service issues.[/quote]

We're not talking about SFS, though.[/quote]

My younger child is a senior at St. Andrew's.  I also have one child who is a recent SFS grad.  At both schools the Secret Service presence was completely below the radar.  More generally, unless your kid is besties with a president's child(ren), there's really no impact on your kid's experience.

To OP and other parents considering St. Andrew's -- our daughter's experience in the upper school has been terrific.  The school offers an innovative curriculum, excellent teachers, and a friendly, supportive community.  Our daughter will leave for college confident, well-prepared . . . and with many happy memories of her years at St. Andrew's.        [/quote]
