How far is too far?

Have you considered Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills, MI? Cranbrook is part of the Cranbrook Educational Community (CEC) which includes the Cranbrook Institute of Science. It’s an excellent school within driving distance from you.

I always make a plug for [post=13631665]Northfield Mount Hermon[/post] which has a very different vibe from many of the most-discussed schools here and is equipped to help kids who learn differently. If you haven’t checked out NMH, I highly recommend you do so. It has a gorgeous campus (over 1,000 acres), a working farm, great food (they make their own ice cream and tap their own maple trees), each kid participates in the operation of the school/farm with a work-job, and the academics are excellent.

On another note, our kiddo has a long trek to and from school by air as no airline flies direct from our major airport to Hartford. It’s the biggest downside to BS for us, but he takes it in stride. I do wish we lived closer to attend events but that seems a small price to pay for the education and experience he is getting.
