[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not totally clear about everything that’s going on here, but some of the all-boys schools work well with the more typical male propensity to jump into a fight. Boys schools are better with boys. They might run them/keep them very physically active, appeal to their sense of competition, and highly structure the environment. On the other hand, they will also have and enforce high behavioral expectations.

Private schools, all-boys or otherwise, can and will expel boys who continue to misbehave. The key is that an all-boys school is more likely to be successful in getting a difficult boy to behave in the first place. They are more tuned in how to channel their physicality and engage their interest.

I would visit open houses at Landon, Mater Dei, and The Heights. Ask your questions and be honest in 1:1 conversions with the admissions teams. See what they think. See what you think. [b]Your son doesn’t have to be religious at Mater Dei or Heights, but would need to be respectful. [/b]

These schools can all be competitive to get into without the issues your son is facing, so keep that in mind, but look around! [/quote]

Respectful sounds like it would be an issue here.[/quote]
