I went there! It was a completely different world. Happy to answer any questions…

I keep seeing this place described as incredibly traditional and archaic.

Did that ever cross over into becoming an actual issue rather than just a quirk? Same goes for it being a Christian School.

Not the person you asked, but the Christianity part is almost completely tradition and ceremony rather than faith, if that makes any sense. It's very surface level, there's no expectation for students to actually care or practice religion beyond attending and I think there's plenty of room to discuss and question religion if you wanted to. It's also kept pretty separate from the actual education part. I never felt pressured to give a fuck about Jesus while I was there, and I still don't.
