[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Do you think local private schools are comparable up Andover? I'm not from this area and would consider saving a ton in order to send dc to a local private. This might be a compromise for dh in terms of dc getting a great education but not going to his alma mater. Dc is open to the idea. We toured a few years ago when in the area and he was excited. Now that it's more of a reality, he seems excited but nervous about being on his own. Dh says totally normal at this stage and I say keep my baby home!![/quote] You don't save that much. Andover is about $10k a year more than the good private schools here (and their day program is about the same as schools here). And it's too late to apply to the good local private schools for next year anyway. I'd let him go. If he hates it he can always transfer. My DD went to a boarding school and there was actually quite a bit of movement in and out, especially the first 2 years.[/quote]
