[quote=Anonymous]I can’t think of a single boarding school for 12 year olds that’s reputable. Niche isn’t really a good source. Most schools that will board that young are for profit or prey on overseas families to be full pay to fund other programs. You would be better off putting him in your local public school. He will get plenty of immersion as a day student somewhere. He also doesn’t sound mature enough for boarding school if he’d can’t take care of the infected toe or advocate for himself. Perhaps you’re from a country where boarding at a young age is more accepted (my dh is from somewhere where most families with money board starting at 10 or 11). It is not normal at all here. There are a few ok schools that cater to foreign service kids, but that’s about it. [/quote]
