Regarding travel, I can’t speak to NMH, but it seems a lot of schools offer bus service (for a fee) to the nearest airport(s) and some sort of pick-up service at the end of holidays. Our school has only one set pick-up time from one airport and shuttle service from another that runs during a specific time frame. I’ve also heard that some students pool their funds and obtain private car service. This option can sometimes be less than what the school charges for their service.

It can be really difficult arranging travel around such a limited window. We aren’t an international family. We do travel about 1,500 miles from the middle of nowhere. Smaller airports and winter travel delays make this process even more troublesome.

The expense and difficulty involved with student travel has been an eye opening shocker. We seriously underestimated this part of the boarding school experience.
