I can honestly say I learned more at St. Anslem's than at College. Of my graduating class of 24 students, 14 had some level of National Merit recognition. You 'might' find a comparable school, but not a better one.
St. Anselm's boys have found a place where they are all smart and so they can simply be themselves. They can challenge each other academically and don't need to feel self-conscious about their academic abilities. The boys are also taught to think of others as well as themselves (they do weekly community service) and they tend to be far more caring and gentle-natured than most boys their age. It's a unique environment, one that is not replicated anywhere else.
The tight-knit school community is unlike any other. The students are extremely bright, but also very sociable. And one of the school's biggest strengths is its great 40-acre wooded campus right in DC.
When I went to college, I felt much better prepared than many of the other people I met there. I had a much easier time adjusting to the workload, having already learned how to manage my time at a school where 'learning' means much more than simply doing the assigned homework and memorizing facts. St. Anselm's really teaches you how to think.
