[quote=Anonymous]We live locally and send our son to Episcopal. He absolutely loves it. That is actually fairly common - there are about 20 kids in his class who are from the surrounding area. Why do it? (And note that neither of his parents went to boarding school, so it is not because of family tradition.) (1) It allows for a degree of academic focus that is hard to replicate in a day school. He has an incredible amount of resources to draw from. (2) He plays a sport at a high level. While that requires him to be off campus a fair amount, it also gives us plenty of time to see and interact with him. (3) For him, it is the best of all possible worlds. He has a lot of independence and gets to be surrounded by friends all the time. But he also can easily come home on the weekends, see his local buddies and his dogs, bring school friends along, do stuff in DC, etc. All in all, we would do it again. But, of course, every kid is different. [/quote]
