This thread is eye opening to me as it is clear people are looking for very different things in boarding schools. My kid wanted a place that’s a lot more college like than homelike, nice campus with a town attached to it with lots of things to do, lots of classes and extracurricular activities offered, good community feel, big school spirit with rah-rah sports, strong teams and good coaches for his sports, lots of choices in class selection and definitely no Saturday classes. Seems like just about everyone on this thread was looking for complete opposite! Formal seated meals absolutely not on the radar, though good food in the dining hall definitely was.
