Our DD is starting at Mercersburg in the fall and I loved seeing that article. We do not require FA, which I am very thankful for, but I have always been very involved in FA raising efforts at her private schools because I think that providing opportunity to all is so very important. @twinsmama thank you for all your positive insights on Mercersburg. We are not experienced with boardings schools - DD found and chose it on her own - and it is a relief to hear from so many students and parents that love Mercersburg.
