[quote=Anonymous][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] I don't think this is accurate. DD is at Madeira and has reported that many of the international students are far and away ahead of the average American student in math.[/quote] Of course, American students pay $60K and get a subpar education in STEM. This is unfortunately, the reality. [/quote]
