<p>Looking at prep school sin the Boston area, basically down to:
Nobles
Rivers
Milton
Brooks
Middlesex
St Marks</p>
<p>My child attends a v competitive private school now and does well and is a good athlete, etc. Our current school has a big workload, like 2.5-3hrs per night. My child handles it fine most of the time, but I want my child to have a greater opportunity to enjoy some extra-curriculars and time in HS in general. Also leaning towards day student vs boarding.<br>
Any thoughts?</p>
<p>Although my kids go to a prep school in the metro NYC area, I can’t imagine that things are much different with the prep schools in the Boston area. My kids would be DELIGHTED if they only had 2.5-3 hours of homework a night. They are told to expect 45 minutes per night per class. That’s five classes X 45 minutes=3 hrs. 45 minutes, and often they have more work than that. Do post this question on the prep school forum, though.</p>
