Boarding Schools with Fall '11 Openings

<p>Hi, everyone. Before we jump to the list, let me set up why we're sharing this with CC. We've never done this before, and we checked with the moderators regarding the best way to share this list of boarding schools that still have fall openings. </p>

<p>Moderator gadad (<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/members/gadad-17671.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/members/gadad-17671.html&lt;/a&gt;) suggested the we make the list available here stripped of any references to AdmissionQuest. You will find links to each school's site.</p>

<p>This list grows out of a suggestion from a school admission office that sent us note asking about a single place where boarding schools could list openings for this coming fall. What a great idea, we thought. We sent out the call out and 38 schools responded. </p>

<p>The more this list circulates and is shared, the better for schools and families; hence our decision to take the list beyond our own domain.</p>

<p>We hope it provides some help and guidance if you're arriving to the boarding school admission process this summer. Best of luck with your search!</p>
