True freedom is self-dominion. As a boy grows into a man, one common obstacle is the tendency to laziness. In this article, we consider the source of laziness, its abetting habits, and its remedy.
A group of Catholic laymen, many belonging to the Prelature of Opus Dei (“Work of God”), founded The Heights School in 1969. Starting as a middle school on Garrison Street in Northwest Washington, D.C., The Heights aimed to prepare boys for success in high school while inculcating in them a deep Christian formation, an adventurous approach to life’s challenges, and the desire to seek holiness in and through everyday life and work. From the beginning, the School sought guidance from Opus Dei to ensure the Christian orientation of all the School’s activities.
I wonder whether this will work also for a man pushing 60 (myself).
FYI for context, from the Heights School website (heights.edu/about/history):

It’s a superb school. Both our boys went there. I would say without any hesitation it’s the best boys school in the country.
