[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to NCS, and have a son at St. Anselm's, as we are raising our children Catholic.  My son is in the sixth grade [b]and I would feel comfortable saying that the academic rigor at both schools is equivalent[/b].  My son is taking Math, English, Liberal Arts (Greek), Geography, Life Sciences, Music, and Religion.  This is a very hard school.  While St. Anselm's is likely not turning a bunch of kids away, it is because there aren't many people who are interested in their kids doing this level of work at 10-11 years old.

That being said, he is getting a world class education from outstanding teachers (some of them STA grads) with advanced degrees.  I am very happy with our decision.  He may or may not stay for high school, as I might be looking for a more traditional experience.  With that said, a PP mentioned mediocre college admits.  That is valid, though a lot of these kids are getting full scholarships at schools in the top 75.  HOWEVER, St. Albans college matriculation list is not stellar and has plenty of kids in schools with little to no wow factor.[/quote]

Based on what? Your decades old experience at NCS? [/quote]

Yes, smart ass. And the fact that I remain involved on the close and have close personal friends with sons at St. Albans. I know you’re insecure in your choice, but use your brain. If you’re actually associated with St. Albans, you’re aware of its diminished reputation as well as the fact that college matriculations for unhooked students are on par or worse than that of St. Anselms. Check yourself.[/quote]

You’re accusing others of insecurity in a screed like that? Sheesh. Take a page from your son’s Benedictine community and show some grace and humility
