<p>If the boarding school is like a normal one (grades 9-12), will the kids there know each other before hand? Or is everybody pretty much new? (I'm talking about the 9th graders, obviously not the seniors and such.)</p>
<p>Kids are from all over. They come from different schools, states, countries ect.
Everybody is pretty much new like you put it.</p>
<p>It is good to have friends from all over the world.</p>
<p>There are a couple of people who know each other before, and stick to each other for the first few days-but this can also be a good thing. They both make other friends, then introduce you to the other person’s friends (if that makes any sense.) Actually 2 of my closest friends who are sitting next to me have been best friends since they were four-and now they are 2 of my best friends, so don’t worry about it!</p>
