re: Boarding Schools for Boys Under 16

I went to boarding school as a freshman in HS. I went to a shitty boarding school in Tennessee, and absolutely hated it as it was more of a day school with a boarding component. I transferred to Deerfield in my sophomore year and I had an awesome experience.

Just being honest, boarding schools in the south sort of suck. There are good boarding schools here, but they are few and far between. My daughter went to Baylor and had an incredible experience, but even at Baylor, the day/boarding student ratio is way out whack.

IMHO, if you’re sending your kid to boarding school for disciplinary reasons, you’re doing it wrong.
