Had kids graduate from both. It’s not superior by any means. The honors program at St Anthonys is a great education, but the difference is St Anthonys is tiered and Chaminade is not, it’s all honors. Its more important where your child feels comfortable. It’s not so a parent can say “my son goes to Chaminade”[/quote]

Tons of kids leave Chaminade after the first two years there.[/quote]


Classes generally start with 500, graduate 400. It is not for everybody....just like any private or parochial. Go visit both. Spend time talking to current kids and graduated kids. My kids visited both, and know a bunch of kids at both. Everyone seems happy at both schools. For us the tiebreaker was the unreal alumni network at Chaminade. That being said, maybe StA has the same.
