Hi Gjakub01, first of all, congrats to you and your son on your acceptance! Like your son, I was accepted into Peddie this year as a boarder. I am not familiar with Hill or Episcopal so I can only speak for Peddie. I highly recommend you and your son go to Congratulations! 2023 - Peddie School - Private Boarding & Day School in NJ for accepted students. There you can join and watch old webinars where students and faculty answer your questions on different topics. What website are you using for your research, is it Niche. I am NOT A FAN of niche. I don’t think it is a good resource, the false report. I understand Niche ranks Peddie the highest, but I would recommend NOT looking at the rankings and deciding that way. As it relates to academics, Peddie is NOT competitive at all. The school emphasizes community with social life and academics. There is a strong sense of community and students work side by side and don’t compete. Rigor, however, is a different story. Peddie is a very rigorous school and the workload is demanding. However, students will work and study together and each student can talk to their advisor. I don’t have anything bad to say about Hill or Episocal and wish you luck and every success in the future. Good luck!
