[quote=Anonymous]How far is the airport for an occasional commute? If your child is indeed super bright and wants amazing co-curriculars, I’d look at the boarding schools up north, and apply to a few in addition to local day schools. Then re-evaluate your actual options next year. These schools accept between 80 to 200 new freshman each year, depending on the school. There are no pre-established friendship groups that make arriving as a 9th grader difficult. And a few also give amazing aid, even to families earning up to $600k/year. Just focus on the large endowment per student schools. Our favorites are Deerfield, St. Paul’s, and Lawrenceville. But there are at least a dozen at the super elite level. [/quote]
