CanadaDad: All of the schools you’ve listed are traditional East Coast boarding schools that have, in the end, far more similarities than differences in terms of academic rigor, athletics structured into the day, etc. We might argue over which school offers better support, is more “nurturing” or “kind,” has prettier dorms, has a better arts program or crew team, but at the end of the day, they all are more alike than they are different. Check out the hidden gems thread for some excellent schools with much more varied environments (Thatcher comes immediately to mind, but there are certainly others.)
