Anybody here know about this school? What are the people like, academics, etc.?

It's very good. Been around forever. Firmly established. Wealthy to very wealthy parents. Country Day and Trinity Valley are both considered outstanding academic schools. I would consider Country Day to be the "old money" private school in Fort Worth.

Agree. Country Day is the old money private school, Trinity Valley is the new.

I recently attended a football game between Houston Christian and FWCD. The visiting crowd from FWCD seemed like regular folks. I was expecting a crowd that looked more like Niles and Feazier Crane based upon the only two people I'd ever known who had gone there.

I'm a guest speaker 2-3 times a year for some of their biology classes. Pretty good students.

Way the heck out of my price range. There is definetly a feel that the kids know they come from money--they've had Jane Goodall assess biology class projecta, and I don't mean that in a bad way, just it is there. The food at lunch is better than most restaurants.

Some of the kids volunteer at my work a few times a year. They are always very nice & respectable.

I graduated from there 25 years ago. Definitely designed for the upper crust...mostly. The reason I could attend there was due to the financial aid my family was offered. Paid for half of the tuition (at the time, it was more expensive for me to go to FWCDS than A&M, even with the aid). Don't know if this is still the case, but when I was there, just under half the kids got some sort of aid.

Geared more for the liberal arts than sciences, but by no means is their science program inferior. Class size allows opportunities that most other kids do not get (for instance - varsity athletics and cultural arts required at the same time). But the education there was top notch and as a college prep school, made my years at A&M easier than most. This last year the senior class had 14 Eagle Scouts out of a class of 99. Impressive.

The headmaster there was the HS principal when I was in school. He runs a good ship and has the school flourishing. Great opportunity if you can get in.
