Episcopal Academy or Haverford School?

I have family members who attended the Haverford School recently. I do believe it is viewed as the best private day school for boys in the Philadelphia area; however, EA is also seen as one of the top day schools.

From what I know, it is socially tough to break into any of these Pre-K to 12 days schools, but it is done all of the time! My family members did not start at Haverford until mid to upper school. They knew they were entering a community that existed before their arrival, so they had to give it time. I believe the school understands that they need to support this process.

I know several nice guys who graduated from Haverford. They are teachers and business types who seem to have an interesting take on education (they loved their education and they have told me how much they valued their time at Haverford). It is really very nice to hear young men who are very much into being 20 somethings say such nice things about high school.
