St. Mark's vs. Worcester Academy

If you’re ho-hum about your sports and open to a change, I would continue to explore both schools. If you have a,strong inclinations to continue with the ones you have, pick the school that offers them.

Years ago, we got the BEST letter from the president of Denison, encouraging students to do their college revists and make their decisions based on where they could most fully be themselves and do what they loved. Really terrific advice. This is an important part of fit.

If you are seriously loving SMS, explore FULLY how the option do do a sport outside of school will work for you. Many schools have become more flexible around this, recognizing the importance of elite team participation in recruiting, but the time and transportation challenges will still be there. Some schools only do this for students who are already “elite” in their sport but make it more challenging for the student who has yet to break into the “elite” ranks. Definitely try to find some other families who have navigated this to get the low down.
