Boarding Schools

Considering a private boarding school, or prep school, for your child opens up a universe of possibities and multiplies the variables you must add to your list of considerations.  Prep school rankings and the opinions of friends and neighbors, though well-intentioned, can add confusion as you make your list of boarding schools to visit.

Boarding SchoolsWhat are the differences between a local private college prepartory school and a boarding school?  Should you consider a boarding school for girls (or a boarding school for boys)?  What are the benefits of having your child live away from home for school?  Are all boarding schools the same? 

We will help you explore the answers to these questions as they apply specifically to your child and your family.  In addition, we will help you and your child through the application process, including what to look for when you visit schools, interview preparation, and compiling an application packet that best reflects your child's true character and strengths.
