caspand: I don’t know anything about SG, but I do know Berkshire – I was a boys’ dorm parent there several years ago. It’s not too far from us and we visit and attend events there regularly – I still have friends on faculty there. Their new facilites are amazing, especially the new science facilities, and the incredible hockey rink – hockey and lacrosse are very big there. I can tell you that the faculty really do take a genuine interest in each individual student, and there is plenty of support not only for growing academically, but character-wise as well. The head of school, Mike Maher, knows how every kid is doing. There are plenty of opportunities there, and plenty of encouragement from faculty to help kids take advantage of thosr opportunities. If your son enjoys the outdoors, he will love it – the location is great and there is the Mountain Program and so many ways to be active outdoors. I’d PM you with more details, but I am new and don’t have enough posts yet. Congrats to your son, and good luck with the decision!
