Schools that take (non-athletic) juniors?

Did you look at Williston-Northampton? They have the Williston Scholars program which allows students to do independent study in subjects they are interested in. Also, when we were touring/at visit day, multiple kids told us that their favorite teacher/class was AP Government - a dynamic teacher in that class may foster her interest in foreign service. I think they usually take a few juniors. Everyone on campus is super friendly and in our experience they are generous with aid.
Anecdotally when we looked at Concord they told us they rarely take 10th or 11th graders, maybe one or two a year. And I know someone personally who transferred into Groton for 11th grade three years ago but she was the only new 11th grader, they also rarely take students for 11th. I think Choate and CSW are probably they best bets from your list. But check out Williston, my son loves it.
