[quote=Anonymous]From time to time a thought drifts through that I should look at boarding schools for high school for my oldest. This is not based on any personal experience with them - in fact, I am not aware that anyone I know went to boarding school. Yet, something keeps telling me that she could have a really great experience there. Maybe I am just assuming the time away would be as good for her as sleep away camp, which clearly is not the right comparison at all. For those who either went to boarding schools or have or (had) kids at one, what were the factors that led to that decision? We are a DC family, so one reason for us would not be the lack of day school in the area. I have some former colleagues from a much earlier time in my life who sent their kids to boarding school because there were no strong schools where we then lived. Thanks in advance for helping me get up to speed on this and helping me frame the thinking about it in the right way.[/quote]
