<p>The fact that she brought it up and is motivated is a good sign. Don’t let what local people think cloud you and your daughter’s decision. Most of the parents on here are pro-boarding school, otherwise they wouldn’t be on this forum. </p>
<p>I do know a student whose parents move often. BS actually gives her some stability for her high school experience. She has the opportunity to make some deeper connections with peers (and teachers) because she’s with same group of kids for 4 years. And academically there’s more continuity too. She chose BS partly because of that. She didn’t want to be in multiple schools during her high school career.</p>
<p>I don’t know about the status of the permanent address. I imagine someone here does. Or you can call an admissions office and inquire. </p>
<p>Good luck. If your daughter wants it and you think she can handle it, what do you have to lose in applying?</p>
