St. Albans School Reviews
Rating 4.57 out of 5 49 reviews
St. Albans has taught me time management skills because we are required to play a sport every season and practices end around 6. It truly is a strenuous environment academically but the friends you make in your years here make it all worthwhile. Knowing you aren’t the only person struggling or going through rigorous tests and papers makes it all more bearable. Other traditions like the BEEF Club, family style lunches, and chapels in the little sanctuary bring everyone closer together and really make you feel at home. I came to the school in eighth grade but even so I can tell I’ve made lifelong friends here. You’re excited to go to school everyday because your brothers will be there with you.
St. Albans is not for everyone; I’ll start out by saying that. The environment is extremely cutthroat with lots of competition, and many teachers show shameless favoritism. If you’re a high achiever, the school will honor you and you will be known for your accomplishments. At the same time, however, the small nature of the school fosters a toxic environment complete with ridicule and gossip. Be prepared to sleep little and stress a lot. Diversity is average at best. Sports after school will leave you exhausted and with little motivation to work, and to do well, you need to put in the hours. Don’t even get me started on the dorms. Food is garbage and the administration enjoys its authoritarian regime over students. Only good thing to come out of my experience there were a few friendships and college preparedness.
I attended St. Albans in the recent past and many would probably think that my testimony to STA would be negative overall but its quite the contrary. St. Albans provided a the academic pressure that it took for me to be pushed to become the best student and young man possible. "Pressure makes diamonds." STA is far form perfect and at times certain hopeful endeavors of bettering the school may seem hopeless but I personally believe that the higher ups in the St Albans community have the greater community's interest in mind.
