St. Albans School是位于華盛頓市中心的一所寄宿學(xué)校,我去年參觀了這所學(xué)校,招生官畢業(yè)于Loomis中學(xué),學(xué)生和老師都非常紳士,住宿就是教學(xué)樓的樓上,校園面積不是很大。國(guó)際生比例3%左右,住宿生比例在5%。這所學(xué)校大學(xué)錄取率100%,過(guò)去5年哈佛錄取17人,賓夕法尼亞大學(xué)15人,耶魯大學(xué)14人,哥倫比亞大學(xué)12人,普林斯頓大學(xué)8人。該校的管弦樂(lè)隊(duì)、合唱團(tuán)都非常不錯(cuò)。Pomfret School寄宿生比例大約為80%。

如果孩子音樂(lè)方面出色要求高, 學(xué)校的樂(lè)團(tuán)除了極少數(shù)幾個(gè)基本是滿足不了要求的, 建議找個(gè)靠近大城市的學(xué)校, 然后課外參加當(dāng)?shù)氐那嗌倌陿?lè)團(tuán).

Percentage of boarding is approximately 5%. In general, the 79 members of the class of 2015 applied to 184 different colleges and received a total of 304 acceptances; 49 schools were represented among their final matriculation plans. Colleges include University of Chicago, Harvard College, University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, Dartmouth College, Columbia University, and others.
The School has three orchestras, and are primarily performance-based, in the pursuit of performances held throughout the year. Orchestra members may have a wide variety of experience, but all should be able to play their instruments well enough that rehearsals are focused on ensemble skills (playing together in time and in tune, adjusting balance and establishing style) rather than individual skills (knowing fingerings, proper posture and hand position, tone production, reading music/rhythms). For the Lower School Orchestra, a student who can play relatively simple melodies with good rhythm and pitch is well suited to the group.
AT Pomfret School, the percentage of boarding at is approximately 75%.
