[quote=Anonymous]Parent of a recent Andover grad. I think it really depends on your kid and the sport. It sounds like it’s a team sport. Does recruiting for your child’s sport primarily happen from the school team or a club team? Is your DS able to be on a top club team and still excel academically where he is? We ultimately chose Andover because it allowed our child to do both with better a better quality of life. It sounds like you already know boarding school isn’t for every kid. Andover is not a particularly nurturing school. Your son needs to be pretty mature for his age and socially/emotionally ready. Nobody on an anonymous forum can tell you if he is. It sounds like maybe a conversation with the coach of your son’s sport and/or another visit might be helpful for you and your son. [/quote]
