My family is considering sending me to a boarding high school to help with college prep. What are some of the top boarding high schools in the US? If you've attended one, could you share your experience as well? Thanks!
There are several top-notch boarding high schools in the US, each with a unique environment and offerings. Here are a few well-regarded institutions that are known for their academic rigor, college prep focus, and variety of extracurricular activities:
1. Phillips Academy Andover (Andover, MA)
2. Phillips Exeter Academy (Exeter, NH)
3. The Lawrenceville School (Lawrenceville, NJ)
4. Deerfield Academy (Deerfield, MA)
5. The Thacher School (Ojai, CA)
When evaluating boarding schools, consider the school's academic reputation and rigor, location, extracurricular offerings, and community, as well as any factors unique to your personal interests and preferences. It's also helpful to visit campus and talk to current students or alumni for firsthand perspectives.
