[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly do you think a school will be able to tell you they will not be able to support your kid when they know they can easily get 30k a year from you in this era of diversity and inclusion? All private schools, whether parochial or not are run like businesses these days... sorry to say.[/quote]

This is absolutely not true of the Abbey. They will, and have, turned down applicants who they did not believe could handle the work and left seats vacant. If you have been accepted, they believe your son can succeed.[/quote]

Not true at all!![/quote]

We were very interested in St. Anselm's and took a private tour.  The Admissions Director was very straightforward with us and said that the environment used to be very "sink or swim" but that they've gotten the monks to be less stern over the years... I have heard only good things about the school from fellow parents who I deeply respect, but this comment told us that it might not be the right fit for our child who is bright, but needs learning support.  They also continue to do the majority of their work/tests on paper, and they prefer it that way, which would be difficult for my child.  The families I know who do attend are some of the kindest, most thoughtful people I know and their sons are thriving, so it is a wonderful place for boys and I appreciated the admissions candor.[/quote]

Nope. [/quote]
