During this Back To School season, are you considering future high school options for your new-born I mean kindergarten middle school child? 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?
