[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) Boarding school is a unique experience that cannot be replicated by a day school. 
2) The "second tier" schools, as you call them, are still excellent. It's not unlike college. The NMHs of the world are akin to Kenyon, Wesleyan etc. Still fantastic places to get a great education.
3) Like colleges, each school has a unique profile and you want to find the school that is the right "fit." Exeter and Andover are huge. Groton is very small. Deerfield is very isolated geographically. Tabor is where you go if you want to sail competitively. Choate's theater program is incredible. etc. Miss Porter's is the most competitive girls' school. You get the drift.[/quote]

Spot on.  I went to a top day school, but my sibs went to a "2nd-tier" boarding school.  I loved my day school and they loved their school.  BTW, one of the sibs who went to boarding school boarding school went to the same Ivy that I attended, so college outcomes for "2nd-tier" boarding might be comparable to those for "top tier" day schools.
