[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My triple Ivy-degreed husband (MA, PhD, JD), who attended an excellent Midwestern undergraduate school, loves to explain to people why we send our sweet and brilliant girls to Stone Ridge:  for the values espoused in St Madeleine's 5 goals.  Our girls are blessed with intellectual gifts that we feel need to be guided by strong values.  The academics are, in fact, excellent for those students wishing to pursue an aggressive program.  But we believe that the school's greatest asset is the pholosophy that guides the teachers and the students.  Academics alone can be found in many places; St Madeleine's idea of "wise freedom" is a gift that girls can find at Stone Ridge.

Stone Ridge was our choice but there are thankfully many options for the discerning Catholic patent. [/quote]

PP, thanks for so succinctly explaining why a parent would choose Stone Ridge or a Network school.  You truly get it.  I feel like SR often doesn't get enough love on this site, because it does fly below the radar, the students in the US are "nice girls" (or nicer than most) and are very focused.  I wouldn't trade the experience I got at SR for the world and I hope to send my DD.  I'm also amused at how Visi legacies are endlessly discussed on this site but the fact is that Sacred Heart legacies were very common in the years I was at SR.  Even if a girl's mom didn't go to SR, she might have gone to Forest Ridge, or Eden Hall, Newton or 91st St (or even abroad).  The reach of the Sacred Heart and their values is far and it's a wonderful network to have.  I met other Sacred Heart alums (recognized them by their rings!) in college and bonded with them.  It's like a sorority but better.[/quote]
