Same here! They have a take it or leave it approach. Don't waste your or their time applying if its not a match.

We are a catholic family with boys, but pretty socially mainstream- we celebrated Pride Month for example, and while I personally would never have an abortion in accordance with my faith, I am pro-choice in terms of wanting it to be a legal choice for others who don't share my views. Etc Etc.

Would we fit in?? What is the reputation like?


I don't know much about the Heights, other than it is more formal. I looked at a summer camp for my son and there was a dress code of golf shorts/polos everyday. If you want a more inclusive/liberal school, then look at St. Andrew's, which is close to Heights.


What age was that camp for? My elementary aged son & his friends went to several weeks this summer and I didn’t see boys in anything other than shorts & a t-shirt.


- have sent our son to Height's Summer Camps in 2023, 2024 and 2025. There is no dress code for summer camp other than common sense! And BTW - it's a wonderful place for "boys to be boys", climb trees, play in a creek, etc.

I know many Heights alums and current families. All are levels of devout. Some are very conservative and proud to display that, while others are quite “mainstream”’and simply devout in their home life without announcing it needlessly. And as a PP said, all are very respectable young men.
