[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Might be slightly too far but in central NJ there is: Lawrenceville, Hun, and the Pennington School. All very different, with Lawrenceville being the most rigorous and hard to get into. They are all about a 3-3.5 hour drive. Amtrak plus uber also possible. [/quote]

Can you expand of the differences between the 3 schools?[/quote]

I can’t really speak to the current vibe since I went to Lawrenceville decades ago. But my understanding is Lawrenceville is still the hardest to get into and the most challenging academically. Hun was easier to get into and still is (considered a backup to Lawrenceville). I know very little about the school otherwise. Pennington had a reputation back then as being good for kids with learning disabilities despite not solely being focused on that, not sure if that’s the case now. All three are within about 10 miles of each other. George School is also close by. At the time had a reputation for being a bit more artsy and laid back among the schools in the area.

Someone above mentioned Mercersburg. That’s an easy day trip from here. I don’t know much about the school but don’t think it’s a very competitive admit. [/quote]
