Why do you send your kids to boarding school?

Boarding schools are about relationships. The relationships between everybody on campus are more intense and rich than those that I have seen at day schools. These relationships leverage the “education” that happens outside of the classroom. There no doubt are huge differences between all these different cats (schools), and readers of these threads can judge for themselves if the differences are meaningful to them. Certainly, the point has been beaten to death that a BS education should not be viewed merely as the ticket to a particular university.

Plenty of New Jerseyans live in Salem, Cumberland, Cape May, and other counties where the public schools are not remotely like Ridgewood, etc. Nor will they see many options for parochial or charter schools nearby. ~O)
