[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is that the domestic market for boarding schools has shrunk. To schools can still fill their classes, but if you go a level down, [b] some schools have a majority of students coming from overseas. They are looking to become more proficient in English and set themselves up for US college admission. It doesn't sound like a great experience for the few American boarding students[/b] (usually legacies following in Daddys footsteps) in a sea of foreign boarding student classmates. But that's how these schools are staying afloat.[/quote] I would say this international component was easily one of the best features in my daughter’s experience at St Timothy’s near Baltimore. She left high school with good friends from Germany, Spain, Mexico, Morocco, Peru, Hungary, Japan and China and I am surely forgetting others. She spent time visiting three of them. It informed her decision to study international economics. [/quote]
