[quote=Anonymous]My son is similar in many regards and will be going to Mercersburg next year. He is good with stem but his main interest is govt/public policy. Unlike Episcopal, etc it had a totally different vibe- I went to a private just down the road from them and while maybe we should have looked there for his particular interest, it may have been overly jocky and sporty for him. It was by far the warmest environment and had the best support structure of the boarding schools we visited. The admissions officer- who is also one of the dorm faculty really went above and beyond. While DS is fit he is not really into sports and has his own separate but related interests- they have multiple options to accommodate this- students can take theatre (performance or tech) or various other options (outdoor PGA- biking trips, kayaking/camping, etc). It is a big swimming location as they have an Olympic pool and great athletic facilities, but I did like that they actually had a great balance of everything, which is hard to find in schools unfortunately.
They do have a great stem program- their robotics lab was amazing. I would encourage at least a tour. The campus is gorgeous and surrounded by mountains. Pretty easy drive up 15.[/quote]
