if you don't think Chamninade is the best of the best in sports and school, you are sorely misguided admit it and move on..
Chaminade isn't the best of the best in anything. They send masses of catholics to mediocre to upper catholic colleges and compile sports teams using 2000 kids from all over long island and they still lose to public schools. The only ones who think that chaminade is the best of the best are the parents that send their kids to the school, just ask them.
They are the best because they are strong across the board. There are other schools with comparable or better academics and others with better individual teams. However, there is no school on LI that has the combination of top academics and top athletics across all teams....not just lax. Look at their athletic center, Bloomberg terminals, wrestling facility, TV studio, the yearbook they produce, volunteerism and on and on. If you hate Chaminade I get it, but then name me the LI school which surpasses them in ALL these areas.
Syosset to name one . Their academics are top in the country and you can't count the number of boys AND girls teams last year that won nassau, LI and state championships across all sports. Don't know what district you are from but I don't think you've been to many of the top districts if you don't think that they have programs and facilities that rival or surpass what Chaminade offers. You may be getting better than what you would have if you stayed in your public school but not many neighboring public schools , sorry. If you want to argue that you are sending your son for the catholic education we won't get in Public schools I totally respect that but not the academic /sports argument .
That's a fair and respectful point. But Chaminade has a reputation that is hard to equal. Don't take my word for it. Please read a letter that was recently written by the head coach at Yale.
So a lacrosse coach at Yale writes a letter in support of his friend. What does that have to do with Chaminade besides the fact that his friend coached there?
It is an inequitable comparison to compare Chaminade to a Public. Chaminade does not admit average students, and make them great student. They only admit great students and take credit for their successes. Nor do they admit kids with learning disabilities, ESL, behavioral problems, ADD, Dyslexia, illegal immigrants, or any other kid with any other issue. Publics, on the other hand, need to educate all of the above in their district. So please, stop with all Chaminade greatness. A collection of great kids, that would have been successful at their own school districts. Nothing more.
