Hi everyone, I’m a 9th grader currently looking for some private boarding high schools in the US. I’m kind of lost looking at all the schools and would really appreciate any help.
I’m very interested in basically everything about music, especially music production, elec guitar, choir, piano. I also am very interested in humanities – say philosophy, polisci, econ, law, etc. Therefore, I hope to find a school that has strong programs in these areas, as well as opportunities for community service and clubs.
Since I am an international student, I do hope to find a school that is rather inclusive, without any racism. The school should preferably be somewhat academically rigorous (say top 50 or above) in the nation.
The schools I’m currently looking at are Choate Rosemary, Lake Forest Academy, and Mercersburg. I have a 150 on the Duolingo English Test, and my PSAT score (which comes out tomorrow) shouldn’t be that low. I’m not planning to take the SSAT because I don’t have sufficient time to prepare. Any suggestions about which schools I should look into, or comments about the schools I’ve listed, are appreciated!
