<p>my son wants to go to prep school. Plays hockey. Would enter in 11th grade. Any schools accept 11th graders?
Thanks</p>
<p>My son is also interested in applying for 11th grade. One coach told me that students sometimes/often repeat 10th grade in that situation. I’m still investigating. My son is attending the preprep showcase and we hope to learn a lot more about the process there.</p>
<p>Many boarding schools do accept 11th graders. However, in general, most boarding schools accept the majority of students in 9th or 10th grades. However, Phillips Andover and Phillips Exeter take a relatively large number of 11th graders (Andover tries to take around 25 new 11th graders). I’m not too sure how good they are at hockey, but I know both Andover and Exeter are really good at sports in general.</p>
<p>Berkshire School has an outstanding hockey program, and I believe it admits a few 11th graders each year. It also has new facilities and unparalled academics even in comparison to a “top school”. Beautiful campus and wonderful courses and programs as well. Definetly take a look at Berkshire!</p>
<p>Phillips Exeter accepts a bunch of uppers (30 plus a year), and our hockey team is pretty decent, and not to sound biased or anything but Exeter facilities and academics are hard too beat :)</p>
<p>It is tough for applicants to enter in 11th grade. I’d recommend applying to a lot of schools that are interesting.</p>
