[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our son has been at the Heights for a few years. He is an only child.. there are a few other families in his age group with only 1 child and several with only 2 or 3 kids. We are also not strict catholics. We know older families who have stayed at the Heights through graduation and others that have left for Georgetown Prep. 
I am sure your son will succeed at any of these great schools. Good luck through the stressful process of choosing a school. [/quote]

Do you feel like a second-class citizen being a women/mom there, or is that just a rumor ppl who hate religion perpetuate? [/quote]

From my experience with The Heights, our school believes that a son’s mother is perhaps the most important person in his life. She is the one who nurtured him while the father works (in most families). There are just as many female faculty members as male (excluding teachers). The reason why the school wants only male teachers is not because we are some bigoted religious Catholics, but because the teachers grow really close with the families and serve as a mentor to the boys. It would be virtually impossible for a female teacher to assist a young boy’s parents in teaching him how to be a good father to his children, brother to his sister…

The Heights partners with an all-girls school who does the exact opposite. All female teachers for all female students.

In close, there is no negative opinion towards moms - that is spread by people hidden behind a computer screen and those with no connection to the school!

Hope this helps.[/quote]
