As you know, Pope Leo XIV is an Alumnus of Villanova University Catholic theology. Appropriately, Villanova (and the other catholic school, Notre Dame) are finalizing plans for a historic men's and women's basketball doubleheader to open the 2026-27 season in Rome, Italy, on November 1, 2026. The games will take place at the 3,500-seat Palazzetto dello Sport, Pala Tiziano, located 30 minutes from Vatican City. This is the first time College basketball season kicks off in Europe! We're very excited as true Villanova college basketball fans. Let's go Nova!!! Thank you

This review is long overdue. The first thing you notice at Villanova is the sense of community. The…read morephrase "Ignite Change" isn't just a marketing slogan; it's baked into the culture. Whether it's participating in the Special Olympics Fall Festival (the largest student-run event of its kind in the world) or just hanging out at the Oreo, there is a genuine sense that people care about each other. It's a "work hard, play hard" environment, but with a heavy emphasis on service. I completed my MBA at Villanova,which is consistently top-ranked. The curriculum is challenging, and the professors especially in the Finance and Nursing programs are well-connected. Let's be honest: Basketball season is a religious experience here. Standing in the student section at the Finneran Pavilion or heading into Philly for a big game at the Wells Fargo Center is an unmatched vibe. \\// up!

The more you have the better your experience. Even that only buys you some perks. The sad thing is that some of the teachers I had are still in the system somewhere ie O'Hara, Shanahan, and other parochial schools. Don't kid your self into thinking they will be safer or get a better education than in a public school. The only difference is the uniforms.

On top of that, Barrack has some great teachers in secular studies. At Barrack, you're welcomed no matter what type of Judaism you practice. That said, the school is very small and is under huge financial strain. This means that some of the programs the school wants to offer, such as art and music, can't be offered all the time, and the tuition seems to rise every year. But it's all worth it for the tight knit community based around the school, comprised of the teachers, students, students' families, and administrators. As a student, the smallness of the student body can feel stifling at times. However, the close attention and care you'll receive, as well as the lessons on how to be a giving part of such a community, make the experience well worth it. I can't imagine many current college students would give their high school four starts out of five, but at least among my friends who graduated from Barrack, I'd bet most of the them would give Barrack a four or higher. That's saying something. So there it is, a Yelp review of a high school education. Only on the internet...

Disappointing Ethics and Neglect at Sanford School…read more Sanford School markets itself both as a premier educational and athletic institution, but our firsthand encounter has been far from satisfactory. I am deeply saddened, and disappointed in the lack of integrity, ethics, equity and professionalism displayed by Sanford School. Particularly in President Mark Anderson, and their girls' basketball program under Coach Marcus Thompson. Firstly, Coach Thompson's unethical practices have marred what should be a fair, equitable and enjoyable sporting experience for young female athletes. Coach Thompson has blatant disregard for DIAA rules and DE State laws. His commited offenses of Illegal recruiting practices, mental abuse, verbal degradation, and playing favorites are just some of the major issues never addressed by leadership. These are frequent daily occurrences and systemic issues going back as far as 15 years. They tarnish the integrity of the sport and the overall well-being of the players/students. When confronted about these issues, Coach Thompson, Pat Jones(AD), and Mark Anderson resort to gaslighting tactics. Attempting to discredit concerned parents by labeling them as "crazy". This behavior creates a toxic environment for the players and their families. When I raised my concerns with the administration, including AD Pat Jones and President Mark Anderson, instead of addressing the presented documented evidence of misconduct, I was met with dismissiveness and deflection. Rather than investigating the valid complaints brought forward by multiple families, they chose to vilify the concerned parents, portraying them as irrational and problematic. Furthermore, the lack of response and action from President Mark Anderson despite multiple complaints and emails from over 10+ families is disheartening. Despite the numerous families voicing their grievances and providing substantial proof of wrongdoing, the administration has chosen to turn a blind eye. It is evident that the school prioritizes the success of its basketball program (including the focus on revenue-driven recruitment tactics) over the well-being and fair treatment of its students and their families. Promises of basketball success and a great educational experience are nothing but empty words, as the reality paints a starkly different picture. As a paying "customer" of Sanford School, I expected transparency, fairness, and accountability from the leadership. Instead, what we have encountered is negligence, evasion of responsibility, and a blatant disregard for ethics and the law. It is clear that the school's focus is on revenue generation rather than upholding its values and providing a safe and nurturing environment for its students. In conclusion, I urge prospective parents and students to carefully consider their options before choosing Sanford School. The issues within the girls' basketball program and the leadership's refusal to address them reflect a deeper problem of misplaced priorities and lack of integrity within the institution.
