Boarding schools in the United States provide students with elite educations and a leg up on their peers in traditional schools. Students live at the schools often times in dormitories and go home on holidays, summer break, and occasional weekends. Most commonly in the US, boarding schools take on students in grades 7-12, although it is possible to send a child to boarding school even before they reach middle-school age. Boarding schools often come with hefty price tags, but financial aid packages are available. The academics at these schools are often times challenging and involve a multitude of electives and foreign languages. The goals of many of the schools are to hone the students so that each individual pupil shines not just academically, but in all aspects of his or her life. In this edition of "Prep School" read all about the boarding schools in Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and South Carolina. Look for more editions to read about boarding schools in your state.
