Blair - The admissions team, the golf coach, and the teachers we met were incredible. They took so much time with us and were genuinely warm and welcoming. The school is beautiful and there is so much going for it. Because we could not revisit and compare it to other top choices, our son opted for a different school for location reasons. He felt awful turning Blair down, because the people were just fantastic.
Episcopal High School - Again, the admissions team was wonderful. The director of admission was so responsive to every phone call, email, etc. - we felt so guilty not going there as a result! The campus and location are really perfect and so unlike any other boarding school we visited. Also, the students we know from EHS are mature, friendly and clearly bright. Had EHS had a golf course, it would have been a perfect choice for my son. If you have a child that wants a city experience or is interested in government and politics, rather than the typical rural BS experience, I don’t think there is better choice than EHS.
Woodberry Forest - What a fantastic place! The campus is gorgeous, and the teachers and staff were so welcoming and charming. WF has a fantastic admissions process where your son spends the night in a dorm with the students, goes to sports practices, and classes, etc. My son had such a wonderful time – ultimately he decided that he wanted a coed environment. For those looking for an all-boys’ school, I just cannot imagine a better place (100% boarding, wonderful honor code system, sprawling campus, new state of the art academic buildings, holistic admission process, etc.)
