[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many all-boys boarding schools are pretty small (&lt;200 students). For schools that are about the size of top boarding schools (400-800+), Woodberry Forest is the only all-boys one that's mid-Atlantic. Georgetown Prep and St. Albans offer limited boarding options and are all boys.

If you're looking at coed, Episcopal is local and part of the Mid-Atlantic Boarding School Group, along with St. Andrew's (DE), Mercersburg Academy (PA), Peddie, and Blair (both NJ). EHS is boarding-only, while the others have day students as well as boarders. The group will do an area info session at Episcopal likely in the fall. It's a great opportunity to talk to each of the schools and see if there might be a fit without having to go to NJ, DE, or PA. As another posted mentioned. Lawrenceville is also in NJ and is the southernmost member of the Eight Schools Association (Choate, Deerfield, Andover, etc). None of those schools are all-boys, but they are all among the top-ranked high schools in the country.[/quote]

[b]St. Andrews is 100% boarding[/b]. I would not recommend the boarding school fairs - waste of time and all it does is sign you up for email marketing for… years. Spend the time and go and visit. [/quote]

Ah yes, thanks for catching my mistake.

I disagree about the fairs if you're trying to get a decent overview. While there's nothing like visiting a campus to gauge its feel, the fairs can help rule out certain schools based on what the student might be looking for.[/quote]
