Weighing the positives and negatives are important, if you're looking to enroll in a boarding school, or just information. If you're looking for information about boarding schools there are three primary ways to research. If you're lucky, the school will have an informative website. Otherwise, you might need to call and speak with an admissions counselor or ask to have an information packet sent to you. Another way to gather information about a private boarding school is to interview the alumni or their families. Visit the website of every teenage boarding school you can find.
Some will appeal to you right away and others will be an immediate turn-off, either because their militant discipline style doesn't work well for your child, or maybe your child has ADD or another special need that must be accommodated. Either way, you might want to keep a notepad handy and, or even create a spreadsheet database on your computer so you can keep track of which ones interest you the most, and conversely, which ones you hated, and why. |

Thank you so much for the information fath86. I have been going out of my mind recently because I am planning on sending my son to boarding school and since my husband I have never been to one, we are at a loss on where to start. What you have stated are good points and I'll be looking out for it on my search. Thanks again. :smile:
