Here are the 44 Top Schools Coming to the Charlotte Boarding School Info Fair on September 16.

Since it’s Back To School time, you may be thinking ahead about high school options for your newborn I mean kindergarten I mean Middle School child.

If boarding school has crossed your mind or come up in conversation, you probably have a lot of questions. Even though there are about 180 boarding schools around the country, many parents only know a few if any people who attended one.

You may have questions about Boarding School:

• 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? 
• Do they offer scholarships? Need Based? Athletic? Achievement?
• Do they recruit athletes?
• Won’t my child be so far away if they go to boarding school? Why do parents do that?
• 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?

You can learn about Boarding Schools first hand:
