<p>the best north american BS, offering IB(International Baccalaureate)</p>
<p>best in terms of getting kids into Ivy league colleges</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>George School is well-known(-ish) on CC, but, at least according to boarding school review, doesn’t send many kids to Ivies. Annie Wright Schools (all-girl) and Mercyhurst Preparatory School were the only two that had any significant number of Ivies on their matriculation list at all.</p>
<p>But if the only reason you are looking at BS is to get into an Ivy, I would suggest attending a local day school where the competition is likely to be less. Boarding school isn’t the only way into an Ivy (or comparable school). In fact, you will be competing against many other kids from your same school who may have many of the same credentials you do, which won’t really make you stand out.</p>
<p>Check out Ridley College in St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada (outside Toronto). They recently implemented the IB program. Great school, with good matriculation to top colleges in Canada and the US. I would echo the remark above - if your goal is to gain acceptance to an Ivy, than boarding school may not be the right path. IMO, choosing to attend boarding school should be about so much more than college matriculation:<br>
personal growth from learning to live with others from different backgrounds and cultures, learning to push yourself academically and take challenging and interesting courses, and developing the “whole” person - through a balance of academics, arts and athletics.</p>
<p>are you an incoming 9th grader? or a transfer student?</p>
<p>what about a Pearson College?</p>
