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.
Superior education in an all-boy environment, where male and female teachers are demanding of excellence, as well as kind. As a parent of a boy who graduated several years ago, I have had the opportunity to watch the influence of St. Albans continue to inspire. Our son describes how very few colleagues within his chosen STEM field understand and appreciate the broader beauty of the world. I chalk that up to St. Albans' classical education. Thank you St. Albans for what you gave our son.
