It was a girls school affiliated with the Jesuits (or with a Jesuit boys school?)<br /><br />Both her kids did fantastically well. Her son went to a Jesuit high school (Loyola?), then went to Occidental. Recently he studied for the foreign service exam on his own & passed. (Nobody passes that test.)<br /><br />Her daughter took the SAT once without tutoring or a prep class & got close to a perfect score.<br /><br />Neither kid had help with homework or tutors. Ever.<br /><br />When I tried to describe the amount of 'helping' and reteaching that goes on with public school kids my friend didn't really know what I was talking about. My experience was utterly foreign to her.<br /><br />They sent their kids to school in the morning, the kids came home in the afternoon and did their homework without help; then, after 13 years of this, both kids scored high on SATs and were accepted by great colleges where they did well.Catherine Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03347093496361370174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691251033406320222.post-52951604866522113272009-08-13T10:24:17.331-07:002009-08-13T10:24:17.331-07:00Or the Salesians.Or the Salesians.Crimson Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03254830856234479999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691251033406320222.post-80076593832191544472009-08-13T06:27:26.347-07:002009-08-13T06:27:26.347-07:00The biggest Jesuit high school in the country is L...The biggest Jesuit high school in the country is Loyola Academy in IL and it is coed. <br /><br />I have a young relative attending a Catholic School that isn't Jesuit (Carmelite?), and his summer reading looked a lot like C's. <br /><br />SusanSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691251033406320222.post-55443316758579148222009-08-13T05:44:59.561-07:002009-08-13T05:44:59.561-07:00Are there Jesuit schools for girls?Are there Jesuit schools for girls?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
