The original poster (OP) has a legitimate point in that boarding school is not for everyone. I know parents that wanted boarding school for their child, but the student was happy, challanged and growing socially and intellectually at the current school. Why disrupt a good situation? Especially with the popularity and availability of honors and AP courses at local public and day prep schools. Boarding schools are increasingly looking at Asian students as an important market segment to maintain "full occupancy" due, in large part, to the substantial academic opportunities offered by private day schools and top public schools.
