<p>For us, it was all about timing. We were all familiar with boarding schools, and for the most part the impression was not favorable. But when our DD began her freshman year at local public it became clear that it was NOT a fit. So when a friend came home from BS with favorable reviews, the BS seed sprouted. </p>
<p>Now, with two kids in BS, there is no question that BS is a better fit for both. Easy? Hardly! And now that it is August – the “Sunday night of summer” – my anxiety about impending goodbyes looms large. But that sadness is still not enough to outweigh the benefits: class size, rigor, breadth of EC opps, caliber of peer group… No comparison.</p>
