<p>I am thinking of applying to the Shady Side Academy in Pittsburgh,Pa for the 2011/12 year
it only has a 5-day boarding program and I dont even live in the country
However, I have family friends in nearby Zelienople,PA
do you think Shady Side would let me attend and I could stay with my friends or is it too risky(in case they are away etc.)?</p>
<p>Would your friends let you stay with them every weekend? That’s quite a bit to ask…</p>
<p>“Students come from 80 different zip codes, seven counties, and Ohio”</p>

<p>The name of the place sounds a little weird, “Shady Side”. haha</p>
<p>That’s what I was thinking hopeful xD !</p>
<p>yes they would let me stay with them
and yes shady side sounds pretty dodgy but it is quite an affluent area in Pittsburgh
As for EVERY weekend well I could probably stay with the friends that I would make
The question is would the school even allow me to attend or is it too risky?
Does anyone know any 7day boarding schools near Pittsburgh</p>
<p>Shady Side Academy is a wonderful school. Academically it is one of the strongest school in Pittsburgh and has a beautiful campus and great facilities! They are seriously considering moving to 7 day boarding in the near future. The new Headmaster was previously at Lawrenceville. Even though it is a K-12 school they have 3 very separate campuses. The Senior school is just high school age students. I would call the admission office and ask questions. They want to expand their boarding population.</p>
<p>Other boarding schools near Pittsburgh: Kiski is about 45 minutes. Western Reserve is in Ohio.</p>
<p>thanks so much chelsea
does anyone know the average SAT score for Shady and Kiski?</p>
<p>The average SAT score for Shady Side Academy students is more than 400 points above the national average, with 67% of students scoring over 1800.</p>

How do you know that they are considering becoming a 7day boarding school?
Could it happen by 2011/2012?</p>
