My son goes to a junior boarding school and is currently in the process of applying to senior boarding schools. He applied to JBS during COVID so we did not get to visit the schools before applying and chose the school solely based on reputation.
We will not make that mistake again and are visiting and touring all the schools he is applying to. While dolcejr did very well academically at his JBS, it was a poor fit in many ways. So we’ve learned to visit, tour, will revisit and ask a lot of questions.
