[quote=Anonymous]I went to boarding school. The local public schools were good, but this school had really outstanding opportunities. I struggled because for the first time in my life, I was a little fish in a big pond. I was pretty independent and started college about a month after turning 17. Be prepared to parent your child differently if you send him or her to boarding school. It will be almost like having a freshman in college - you have to help him or her navigate the system (financial aid, on campus jobs, school schedule, dorm rules), but will lose a lot of direct control.
