[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The scattered and disorganized piece makes me wonder if St. Anselm's Abbey would be a good choice. The boys who have gone there from our coed K-8 have tended to be bright and friendly, but with some organizational challenges that are partially just...being a teen boy.

I know you are getting him evaluated for ADHD so don't want to put this all down to sex/gender but from what I've heard, their single sex model focused on how boys in particular learn is a good fit for the kind of kid you describe. [/quote]

I thought St Anselms was for incredibly smart boys?  [/quote]

St. Anselm’s is for incredibly diligent, dedicated, and focused kids. However, it is imported to understand that isn’t the same as “smart kids.” [/quote]

Chose another school but would point out the class work is much more analytical than other schools. And 53% of the 2020 class scored In the 700-800 range both Math and Verbal for their SATs.  Seriously who bad mouths St Anselm’s? [/quote]

OP here,

None of the above comments are from me, but I am really curious what you have read on this thread that you would consider to be "bad mouthing" St. Anselm's?

How is saying that another kid might be better served at a school that's got a different workload, or pointing out that there are smart kids who don't have the academic talent, or diligence needed to succeed at St. Anselm's bad mouthing St. Anselm's?  [/quote]
