[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taft is located right on a river do you can row right there, without traveling to a boathouse.

No school is going to be all nice kids. Because boarding is a relatively rare choice in the US, and extremely expensive, the families tend to be atypical in some way (affluence usually). Or unusual family situation/structure. But of course those kids can still be nice.[/quote]

Second this. Don’t fall in love with beauty of campus and beware the videos. The kids are often not so nice. Unlike day school, your kid can’t come home at end of day. They are stuck. Figure out campus culture, the student body beforehand.   As noted,  and speaking in generalities, these kids tend to be affluent and entitled. Really regret sending our very nice kid to one of schools mentioned in this thread. DC excelled but the social environment was terrible. And we used one of the educational consultants regularly promoted on this website. Never have we paid so much for so little. If you go this path, do your own research. [/quote]
