Christian Brothers School

My grandmother is fond of telling me that it’s not what you know but who you know.
It is truer nowhere than in school. Even is Christian Brothers School didn’t give me a first rate classical young man’s education the value of the school can easily be measured in my classmates. It’s odd to look back at middle school and realize I was networking even then. I sat next to the sons of prominent business men and local politicians, even the grandson of the LA Attorney General. But it wasn’t all blue blood and starched white collar material. I myself come from a modest household and gained entry and success on the merit of my grades. CBS may have a large portion of «upper class» students but the student body is as a whole quite eclectic.
Even if it’s «who you know» CBS does a stellar job with «what you know». CBS prepares young men not just for high school but for success. Yes, a lot of the lesson plans seem old but they are tried and true methods. A strong focus on English grammar, reading, math, sciences, even penmanship created a top notch education that carried me through a stellar high school and stays with me even as a professional in the workplace.
Should I have a son one day, I hope that he can benefit from an education as good as my own and the foundation for that started with Christian Brothers School.
