Private education is a business (and actually one of the few that sell overseas), so a certain amount of marketing is understandable. Just ignore it or opt out if you have that option. Unlike colleges though, prep schools sometimes do a good thing in “marketing” to the potential (though far from garanteeed admission) candidates. To families that have not had the tradition and have little knowledge about boarding schools, this may be the chance for them to take a serious look at the option. So, like almost anything else, it’s not all that bad…
