<p>Don’t overlook The Webb Schools. My daughter went there and got a fantastic education and was able to do activities that gave her truly unique experiences and a great college app. I didn’t look at other schools because I was not wholly on board with the boarding school idea until late. Plus a relative had done extremely well there. I have family in the area, and the proximity of Ontario airport made travel easy for holidays and long weekends, in both directions. If you are interested in any details about her experience you can PM me.</p>
<p>I don’t think prestige/name recognition needs to be a factor, unless bragging rights to your friends is important. The colleges will know the schools, and the GC sends a school report with the application should that be the unlikely case. What is most important is solid academics the opportunity for your child to reach his full potential academically. Also some schools have very special EC’s available and special equipment that may attract your student especially.</p>
