High School: Boarding School list

Some of you requested that I put a list of boarding schools on the blog. Per your request, look here to learn more about boarding schools.

Unfortunately, boarding schools are extremely expensive and very hard to get into. If you have all A's in 6th grade and 7th grade, strong state test scores, and a good relationship with your teachers who have to write you recommendations, you have a pretty good shot, but still, meeting these requirements do not guarantee you a seat in a boarding school. Along with meeting all of these requirements, you also need to write a stand-out essay.

If you do not meet the requirements now, I would suggest you do very well in 8th and 9th grade and reapply for your 10th grade year. However, it does not hurt to try now if you really want to give it a shot.

If you want to learn even more about boarding schools, you should check out the boarding school fair at the Gauchos Gym at 478 Gerard Avenue in the Bronx, NY. It will take place on Friday, September 19, at 4PM. Tell your parents to take you there.


Love you,
