Look into Berkshire. The school is a very typical boarding school experience with athletics, arts, etc that you are looking for. It’s slightly less selective than some of your schools, but still not a safety. They are doing some very interesting science research and have an electron microscope (and ultramicrotome to go with it for making samples) students in the Advanced Math and Science Research classes can use. The students have been doing a years-long study into concussions and brain injuries using insect brains. What is really neat is that, as students graduate and new students come in, they continue the previous research and get to utilize data and findings from prior student research to keep going deeper.
