<p>I guess I’ve been lucky, and my son stays on campus on regular weekends. Future applicants should ask to see weekend activities for students. </p>
<p>He does visit friends over breaks, and has attended parties. While he doesn’t like it, I always call the host parents to be sure that there is some level of supervision. </p>
<p>My son’s school has a directory with the phone #'s and addresses of other parents. </p>
<p>From your posts, it seems that you might live abroad. One way to get more involved in the school is to volunteer to call other international parents for the annual fund.</p>
