[quote=Anonymous]I'm considering boarding school for 23-24 for my rising 9th grader. We're looking for a midsize school (nothing too small, bigger is better) within 3 hours of DC. He's a pretty independent child but likes some structure to his day, so nothing too lax. He's bright and has good grades, but he can sometimes be a bit anxious in environments that are too small and feel as though all eyes are on him. He's not athletic but is very STEM-focused and wants to be a software designer or engineer, so we're not looking for a school where athletics is the main focus for students. I've come up with a bit of a list, but I am wondering if there's a school I may be missing. We'd prefer co-ed, with more boarding than day students or all boarding, and we're a mixed family, so diversity is a plus. Kind kids and a culture of community is also important.

Woodberry Forest (VA, all boys, but looks interesting)
Peddie (NJ)
The Hill School (PA)
Episcopal Highschool (VA)
St. Andrew's School (DE)

Any that I should remove or add? I'm contemplating working with an ed consultant but want to do a little legwork myself as well.
