<p>@london203: thank you! That’s wonderful to hear. And I’ve been lurking for 3-4 months around here but didn’t officially sign up until yesterday after completing the PFS. I felt like part of the crowd for real and decided to make it official. Right now, Proctor Academy is the school that made us want to pursue this boarding school path. We haven’t visited yet because we’re very far away. Honestly, we’ll probably need to do a Skype interview and then visit if accepted and the FA award is enough to make attending possible. I’m having trouble finding more schools like Proctor. My son and I are both a bit obsessed with their website and all the videos. He went nuts when he found out about the wilderness orientation and the woods team and the Ocean classroom, and mountain classroom, etc…this is a kid who went to Survivor camp and complained because they were brought food and didn’t have to hunt for it and cook it themselves. I’m sure this will cause many parents to gasp, but I’m more concerned with him gaining those life experiences and self sufficiency than I am about the # of AP classes and such. I just really think he needs to get his hands dirty, see knew sides of the world before he can truly figure out what he wants to do beyond high school. And so much of his ADHD struggles are the transfer of items between home and school and having that all-encompassing, living in your school situation could really help him keep his head in the game. I need to find more schools like Proctor so I cast a wider net as recommended.</p>
