[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, Beauvoir families.  Families have to commit $1000 to reserve their spot, but that's it (not a full tuition commitment).[/quote]

It's not "reserving" a spot.  It's indicating a commitment to attend.  So much for the Beauvoir Life Rule of Honesty.  Shame, shame, shame.[/quote]

Don't be a fool.  When St. Albans offers your son a spot, they demand $1000 upfront or your son's spot is lost.  None of the parents will have heard from any other school at that point, many of which will be their first choice.  So obviously, they are going to pay the $1000 to keep the spot open, should they get rejections from their other school choices.

It seems to me this has been the way it works for years and years, and no one is complaining, especially not STA.

STA presumes they are your first choice.  Hearing from other schools, the thinking goes, is irrelevant.  With the $1000 deposit, a Beauvoir family submits a letter of intent to enroll.  To later indicate an intent to go elsewhere after hearing from another school is dishonorable.  It is also dishonest - and, yes, a violation of the Beauvoir Life Rules.[/quote]
