[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.  I really appreciate all of these replies.  I have an older kid starting HS this year and he would never want to attend BS and I would never consider it for him. Kids have different needs.

Thrilled to hear that 10th grade is a common entry year.  I did not know that.

I, too, had thought of the 5 day option, but would love to hear from others how that worked out.  I worry that they would miss out on social activities if they were gone every weekend.  I can't see choosing a school more than a three hour drive away.  I was in a serious accident as a HS student and can't imagine if my parents would not have been able to be at the hospital with me.

Mercersburg mom again. MB is 85% boarding so most students are on campus 7 days a week.
While you can leave for approved family weekends, the students want to be there and the school keeps them very busy between athletics, special programming, trips, etc. I believe there is a significant new 10th grade group of students entering this fall. The head of admissions grew up in McLean so it’s a nice local connection.  [/quote]
