boarding schools...

<p>does anyone know of any boarding schools that lean toward the liberal end of the spectrum...?</p>

<p>why in the hell would you ever want to go to a boarding school?!</p>

<p>Drew, that's the attitude I LOVE!</p>

<p>His parents are sending him away and forcing him, perhaps; and if you need a real reason, go ask Righteous_Vigilante if she would want to go to boarding school.</p>

<p>i already go to one. they're awesome. you don't live with your parents and you can do whatever you want.</p>

<p>My friends parents sent him to a boarding school his Jr. year and he hated it. He had no friends and no social life, he's a very good musician but he had no where to practice and the rules were VERY strict.</p>

<p>i go to one now. they're actually pretty great. kids at boarding school have so much fun because they don't have parents.</p>

<p>I would not know too much about boarding school since I do not spend time there, but some boarding schools are far more liberal than others and will allow fun things to happen given parental absence. The strict schools would just stink.</p>

<p>I am not an expert in this area. You might want to look at Northfield Mt. Hermon and Concord Academy. I'm sure there are many more.</p>

<p>Why do people always have the perception that when kids go to boarding school they were "sent away?" A lot of kids actually WANT to go to a boarding school. Why do you guys think boarding school is so bad? Amazing academics, amazing people.</p>

<p>Concord Academy, Milton Academy, and Phillips Exeter are three top-tier schools at which many students and faculty are politcally and socially liberal.</p>

<p>If you want to look at less selective boarding schools, the Cambridge School of Weston is one that's quite liberal.</p>

<p>Umm... no.</p>

<p>In my opinion, top tier school are places like Andover, SPS, Exeter, Deerfield, and Choate. </p>

<p>Corncord Academy? Come on.</p>

<p>Concord is in a tie (with the others I listed as top-tier, among 12 schools) for the highest test scores among boarding schools, FWIW...</p>
