It is back to school time and you may already be thinking of future high school options for your student.  If so, boarding school may have crossed your mind or come up in conversation, and you probably have a lot of questions. Even though there are about 180 boarding schools around the country, many parents only know a few people who attended one. You may be wondering:
  • Who goes to boarding school? Why do they choose to “go away”?
  • Is it just for people raised in the Northeast? On an Ivy League track?
  • Aren’t they very exclusive and expensive? 
  • Won’t my child be so far away if they go to boarding school?
  • When should we start looking and evaluating? Is it the same timing as high school applications?
  • Are they all single sex or are there co-ed boarding schools?
  • Does it start in 9th grade?
  • Is there financial aid if we decide it is a great option for our child?
  • What are the upsides vs a local school?
  • Do they all look like Hogwarts?
If want to learn more, plan to join us on September 16 for a Boarding School Info Session and School Fair.  You will get some answers to the questions above and also have a chance to ask some of your own as well as have a chance to visit with and collect information from school reps from ​over 30 of the country's top schools.

This event is free and open to the public, however, spots are limited to ensure the best experience for all attendees.  Register Now!
