[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not send my 14-15 year old kid away. Those are really important years in your kid's life and I personally would keep him here. I would choose Maret or Potomac depending on which one is closer to you and also on which sports if any is important to your child. [/quote] This is anecdotal, but my sister sent her son to boarding school for financial reasons. Her family is affluent, but not rich, and the local private school was incredibly expensive and drained a lot of their finances. The New England boarding school was shockingly generous with financial aid, and they ended up paying around $22k/year compared to the $45k/year for the local private school. They've been able to save far more money, and they're planning on sending their younger kids to the same school. It's not for everyone, but boarding school is a great option for many.[/quote]
