Newyorker22- actually, you’re right in that it was not at Exeter or Andover, although one of my older children did attend one of those schools and I believe that they have similar conversations. I’m not sure where you heard the tone “proudly”, as this was a factual statement that reported what was said by the the HYP director, not the parents or staff at the boarding school. In my experience, the academic bar is set higher for prep school kids, but quite a few of them do manage to attend. My own kids have no interest “I already go to HYP for high school, why would I want to have that same experience again?” While they loved/love their time at bs, when the time comes for college they wanted/want to go far away and have a whole different experience. By the way…are you primarily a prep school, or college consultant?
