@DuckDuk Congratulations to your daughter!

Check out this recent thread for insights from others who have struggled with this: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-admissions/2174461-thoughts-on-boarding-school.html#latest

Four years ago, I too let a 14-year-old daughter go to the other side of the country. Now she is about to graduate from SPS. The major consideration is always them - their growth, their opportunities. Yes, she found a family at SPS, so now she is richer with two families. And so are we! It’s not easy to let child go away earlier, and it’s a decision that each family needs to make for themselves. It seems that at some point you considered BS a good option for your daughter, as you let her apply. Now that this option is becoming a reality, you’re having the “What have I done?” moment. It’s a common emotion. Here are a few threads dealing with it, courtesy to @ChoatieMom:
