[quote=Lina2025][quote=Anonymous]I hope this isn't a situation where you left your far-away country to place your child somewhere you were told was a feeder to an Ivy. Families who do boarding schools well generally have a much better understanding of what it entails than you, and know how to communicate before issues turn nasty.

There are so many great public and great private day schools in the US, OP. They offer a good education for your children, without closing doors for any university.

We actually live in New York and pick our son up every weekend. We chose a boarding school specifically because they offered a strong English-language support program for international students, and our son’s English was very limited when we arrived. We believed that being immersed in the environment would help him learn the language quickly and feel more confident.
The school also has an excellent rating (A+ on Niche), which is why the situation was especially surprising for us — we really thought we had found a good, supportive place.[/quote]
