[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think St. David’s is necessarily harder to get into than Buckley. But since Buckley places such a strong emphasis on athletics, the pool naturally narrows to families who really want that focus. For St. David’s, I’ve noticed that many Jewish or non-Christian families choose not to apply for religious reasons.

They’re all good schools, but I do think each child has a school that’s the right fit for them. After our St. David’s tour, we actually decided to withdraw our application. The overall atmosphere and the way the students carried themselves didn’t feel like the right fit for our child, and something about the environment felt a bit awkward and uncomfortable to us.

Can you say more about the way students carried themselves? [/quote]

Np, but we loved the vibe at Saint David's. It felt structured, but everyone seemed so happy to be there. At Saint Bernard's, the boys appeared tired and stressed, and the faculty traumatized by recent scandal. A couple alluded to this in a not-so-veiled way. At the other extreme, Allen Stevenson felt like a party. We didn't tour Buckley.[/quote]
