[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son left after 2 years in the US but not because of the quality of the education. The culture of the school skews toward a White, Republican crowd, and my son who is neither White nor Republican just felt on the periphery. He had friends and was actively involved in multiple sports, but he just wasn't the quintessential Landon boy. 
The quality of the education is good, however.  The school educates boys -- it's not just a holding tank for jocks. [/quote]

[b]The all boys schools in this area all skew that way. [/b]They have all become mostly white and republican that includes Prep and STA which both have become more conservative and clubby in recent years. On the other hand the all girls schools are becoming more diverse and more progressive. [/quote]

My son felt this way too, when touring DMV privates for HS. [/quote]

yes.  if anything STA and Prep are worse.  We have a daughter at NCS and the only Trump supporting people we know in the DMV are at STA.  [/quote]

Then you don’t get out much.  I know more than a few Trump supporters at all the schools, with the possible exception of GDS[/quote]
