<p>There are many outstanding K-8 options in the Boston burbs. Given that the majority are day schools, where your child goes will be largely be dependent on where you live. Our son attends an independent K-9 school on the north shore. His school consistently has high placements at your target schools, as well as many other outstanding independent day and boarding schools. Our son applied to 5 schools for 9th grade and was admitted to all, including Andover, Exeter and St Paul’s. Feel free to send me a private message if you would like more information.</p>
