Girls Ice Hockey Prep Schools 'What am I getting into?"

Where are you located? If you are in the Boston area or parts of CT, or RI, you will have great prep day school options if she doesn’t want to board. There may be good day options in other areas as well, but as a lifelong New Englander, these are the schools I am familiar with. There are a lot of great girls hockey programs in NEPSAC that all regularly send girls to play in college. The schools I am most familiar with that have excellent girls hockey are Thayer (alum), Williston (parent), Kent (parent), Dexter Southfield, Milton, Choate (friends of my kids/kids of my friends attend and play at).
As others have said, be open to re-classing and possibly repeating sophomore year. There is also a possibility to do a PG (post-graduate) year after senior year to improve either academics or level of play for target colleges. With a little more info on your location, your daughter’s current grades, her willingness to board, is she looking for a small school or large school, how far are you willing to travel, does she need accomodations for learning differences, etc, we might be able to help you find some target schools to reach out to this fall.
