[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does your child want to go is the better question?[/quote] OP here. DC is very independent. The kind of kid who went to sleepaway camp at age 7 and at age 11 is begging to spend the entire summer there. There are no red flags. We have a good relationship and they have friends and make good grades. I think it's just wanting to be independent and think it would be more fun to live with friends than parents.[/quote] My older son is just like this and he’s going into his second year at Mercersburg. The experience has been an incredible one for him and students like him who are seeking the boarding school experience. I’ve always felt that it must come from the student- no kid should be pushed into boarding school. The sacrifice is on us as parents who miss them dearly, but thankfully with a 90 minute drive we can catch most of his games and take him to dinner often, etc. [/quote]
