I agree with cc161, fan them on facebook...they update their page daily with current news. It will give you a good feel for the school and for the community.
Good luck!
(ps: My brothers also went to hendriken and loved it)
thank you!

I'm a Hendricken grad, my wife went to Prout when it was all girls, and I have a son at Hendricken.

I am satisfied that I received a good education, and that education has opened more than a few doors for me.

My son loves the school, he's very happy there. He meets girls via after school activities and is pleased with that, too..LOL.... I've also noticed that alum look out for each other, so there is a brotherhood there that can come in handy, particularly in Rhode Island...

My wife has done very well, too, and is a proponenet of same sex education - and she is a self professed liberal and feminist.

I am not aware that they have even breached the topic of same sex marriage at the school. At our local parochial school they do have a baby shower each year for aborted babies, that's sort of creepy. But it's as political as they've gotten.

I know Hendricken just had a contingent of students return from a mission to Peru...

Thank you so much to you...and everyone else who responded!
The info has been very helpful in my decision. And I have passed along the info to my brother, who has a son and is interested in Hendricken.
Also a HUGE thank you to whom recommeded the book, "Girls on the Edge". I cannot seem to find that particular post. I checked the book out Friday and already, a few days later...am just about finished!
Single-sex education is definitely the way to go! Again, Thanks!
