<p>We started exploring boarding schools about a year ago when my child expressed an interest. We went to the typical websites, boarding school.com, etc, for general and statistical information, but then we discovered CC. The practical information from parents (and kids) was invaluable. I learned more lightweight, teen info from the kids but solid information from parents. We are visiting two schools that were not on our radar but were spoken about consistently by two FREQUENT contributors. Not that these frequent contributors speak the gospel truth about schools but merited enough interest to check out the two schools.</p>
