St. Albans School Reviews

St. Albans changed my life for the better. I learned so many social skills and made very useful friendships. STA teaches people a very important lesson. The lesson of having your brother’s back. STA is an all boys school and that is why I say brothers. I grew up with 3 sisters and I was the youngest in my family. St. Albans gave me the opportunity to have 68 brothers in my class that I knew would always have my back no matter what situation I was in. So all in all, STA is a great school. Despite my shortcomings their academically it taught me how to work hard and thrive in a tough, competitive environment. The friendships I made there are friendships I will have for the rest of my life.

Honestly, this may be the single greatest secondary academic institution in the world. I transferred here from Exeter my sophomore year, and it was the best decision that I have ever made. The culture, the students, and the academics are absurdly strong. My senior year I took a class in abstract algebra, read Ulysses, and did an independent study in statistical thermodynamics. Where else could I do that? If you are accepted here, attend. I was a Harvard physics major and I consider my most formative academic years to be the ones I spent at St. Albans. I cannot say enough so I will stop here, but this is a really special place.
St. Albans is a stellar school that works hard to make well rounded young men. Students are required to partake in three seasons of sports every year, attend chapel twice a week, eat family style lunch every day in the refectory, and take many challenging core classes in each grade. Because of this, the community is very close and the student life is next to none. The school is in fact challenging, but I have been told by many alums that St. Albans did a spectacular job preparing them for college and beyond. It would be hard to find a group of students that have as much school pride as St. Albans students do, as displayed in our athletic prep rallies. St. Albans honestly feels like a second home.
