[quote=Anonymous]My oldest really wanted to do for HS-not only couldn’t we afford-I couldn’t imagine not having her. She ended up going to one of the ivies and a good number has done boarding at Exeter, Philips, St Andrews. She said majority were pretty miserable people and were almost an intact tribe (as apparently these boarders knew each other as many were from same towns even if their schools were far apart. Of course many came from very high levels of wealth as boarding school culture in US is more from high wealth families, very often coupled with divorced parents. While my DD still imagined that her dream of a ‘Swiss Finishing School’ would have been a totally amazing experience she was glad not to have gone domestically. She now has a 1yo and we actually just talked about this and she knows she wouldn’t do with her own!![/quote]
