When do they do homework? I envy your time to focus on sports and family time. Our kids are at Deal and they get some time consuming project virtually every weekend starting in October-June. It is absurd and frankly depressing. The kids are A students but the homework is really a huge drain on their time.
Teams have mandatory study tables from 2:45-4:30 mon-Fri. The boys have to use that time to do homework, a few Teachers are available to tutor them if needed. Weekend homework is usually writing papers which my son does at study table. All papers are done on iPads which school provides. I don't pay much attention to DS homework as long as he's getting A's.
St. John's?
Sorry, no. We no longer live in DC. He attends a smallish Catholic HS

Friday is family veg-out night. We usually get take-out and our two teenage boys play computer games for awhile. We don't do screen-time during the week so I think to them it is an electronic happy hour. LOL
On Saturday night it varies but most of the time our kids are at home with us, watching a movie, or we go out to dinner. Occasionally one or the other of them has a friend or some friends over to play on the Wii or watch a movie.
My boys are 15 and 13 and neither of them has much of an outside-the-house social life, at least not yet.
