I'm OP. We have family members on the board of several of these schools and he's also a recruited athlete with coaches' interest at several of them. [/quote]
If you truly had those connections, you would not be on DCUM asking about these schools.[/quote]

Maybe, maybe not.

[quote] [b]Did not like the one building for all/almost classes offered by Hotchkiss--seemed too much like a local public high school in that respect.[/b] [/quote]

This is a matter of preference, but the one building for all classes is a huge benefit when the winter comes. It shields students from the elements. At a school like Choate, he'd have to put on his coat multiple times through the day and trudge through snow to get to his next class.

If daily snow and cold are significant inconveniences for your child, they won’t thrive at boarding school. It’s the least of their challenges [/quote]
