FWIW, I hear what you are saying Publisher, but it doesn’t really ring true for my experience – I don’t particularly feel like MB taught my kids table manners and life skills as a meaningful part of the value prop of MB. I mean, sure, they ate at tables with people, but I’m pretty sure they would have done that at all boarding schools. :).
And I would agree that the cross section of students was broader at MB than at my daughter’s previous school. I would say that honestly the kids who truly are Nobel-prize-winning level of smart would find more their tribe at Andover. But the kids who are just “regular-level-super smart” like a couple years ahead in math kind of smart – they will absolutely find plenty of rigor and challenge and their people at MB. The MIT kid who went to Andover and the MIT kid who went to Andover were both very challenged in high school I think.
