[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster here. What I have heard or get a sense from friends at the Abby is that the academics are incredibly rigorous. I almost get a sense that workload-wise, it might not be that far from if not similar to the schools deemed pressure cookers in the DMV. The fact that Abbey students enter starting in 6th grade to me implies that the student body is heavily if not completely self-selecting for this level of rigor. Most of the top schools that it is being compared to enroll students starting in Kindergarten. There's no way then that all of those grade school kids are all on top of their game come high-school. It just doesn't work that way.

Why then is Saint Anslems being shamed for [b]not being as strong academically as these other schools [/b]where 30-50% of their student body may be those who started in elementary school and would not necessarily all be as sharp as those who self-selected the school in the more challenging middle and high school years?[/quote]

The workload at SAAS would break top students at most competitors. The idea that it is “not as strong academically” is completely inconsistent with reality. [/quote]
