Boarding school (Hotchkiss, in our case) certainly was worth it for our child/family, but I’m sure it depends on the particular school, student and one other rarely mentioned factor—the leadership. Our student was fortunate to attend during the stewardship of head of school Craig Bradley, who consistently sets the bar for effective, forward-thinking executive leadership and is a master at managing a pluralistic institution during tumultuous times. He’ll be a tough act to follow for the next head of school, who begins next year. I wish her the best.
