Hi everyone. My son is in 5th grade and we’ve applied to a few primary schools (k-9) as well as to some 6-12 schools. One of the 6-12 schools have offered him a full ride, but it’s a 2nd tier school and my hope is for him to go to Deerfield Academy when he’s in 9th grade. My question is, if he doesn’t get as good a financial aid package in the primary schools, would it be shady to go the the 2nd tier 6-12 on the full ride and then apply to Deerfield when he’s in 8th grade?
