Choosing a School
We publish Schools.com to help you begin the process of
matching a student with schools. We
have outlined the different types of schools, provided various search
tools, and offered information about the admission process.
When considering
boarding schools, to make an informed
decision, we suggest that you spend some time thinking about your
family and the student.
What are the specific
talents of the student?
Where does the student
struggle?
In which extra-curricular activities
does the student want to participate?
How does the student
learn best?
In which types
of environments does the student
feel most comfortable?
What are the goals
of the student? Why are you considering
boarding school?
If you already have a good idea of what you are
looking for in a boarding school, you
are ready to make use of this website.
Use the Boarding
Schools Directory and School
Search to find those schools that offer a close match with
the student's interests, abilities,
and academic level. Pay close attention
to "the
feel" of a school. Boarding schools each have their own culture,
and while that culture can be hard
to describe, if it doesn't feel right
to you, it probably isn't a good choice.
The information at this site is not intended to
provide you with all the information
about a boarding school. It is designed
to give you access to the individual schools' websites and the contact
information to speak with school representatives. No website can
replace the value in speaking with a school's admission officer or
visiting the school.
