How far is too far?

I think once you get OVER 8 hours (i.e., a day trip in a car) distance becomes moot.

That said, we happen to like the ability to get “there and back” in a day, so have pretty much gravitated to schools within 3 hours of home for 7D2…whereas we had included schools in the 7+ hour driving range for her older sister.

Here is my shameless plug (for a school we have no official affiliation with) for Thacher in CA. IMO, if you are considering schools that are a 16 hour drive away, you are basically in “maybe we fly” territory.
