[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should take into account that boarding schools take a lot of international families that can self-pay that may not match the academic level of students coming through the American system or meet the expectations set by a private school in the area... For rising 9th graders, a lot of what any school is hoping for is potential, and having lots of international students can dilute the experience - speaking from 2 friends whose kids are at boarding nearby. I know Holton well and love it. No info on Madeira.[/quote] That’s interesting. I actually think the bar might be harder to cross for internationals because an international student is expected to have challenges on top of academics (culture shock, language, family far away) and so academic footing needs to be more solid.
