Schools that don't just value athletics

Be honest and dont steer OP to your personal favorite school by understating the sports culture there. And pease dont plant any hope that some dormant athletic ability / interest will emerge during boarding school.

Our DC is at a school that is definitely NOT sports oriented, but those two hours of daily sports is still a burden and humiliating. Sure there is Thirds, but being in Thirds as an Upper requires a thick skin. We spend quite a bit of energy with DC and school staff trying to find alternate, productive activities for DC during sports time. But at times DC has had to bite the bullet and suffer through a sport.
