Funny, after assuming that my youngest would go to boarding school like her older siblings, I am now leaning the opposite way though she may throw in some applications just to have the choice. Mostly though I feel like the years have gone too fast, and why not savor having the last one at home a little longer before facing the full empty nest! That said, if I had to do it over again, I would definitely take a closer look than I did at both Madeira and Mercersberg as well as the Master’s School, Concord, and George Schoo and maybe Northfield Mt. Hermon. For my artistic kid, I would look at Putney, but it would not work for your lacrosse player. In any case, I would be looking at the schools that are quaker, progressive or the coed schools that grew out of girls’ schools. I’d also look at single sex for my daughters but probably not for my son.
