Boar are super tough and kill people all the time. Well, all the time back in the day when people hunted them with spears. Boar are at least scarier than a Zebra for example.

Berkshire! @cababe97 recognized her own school!

Here’s another. I’m upping the degree of difficulty.

Highly regarded IB program.
High-performing, socially conscious kids from around the world are chosen by national committees to represent their country at this school.
Most of these kids will only attend got two years.
Part of a network of boarding schools around the world.

37

@CaliMex George School?

38

Nope.
International students at George are selected by the regular admissions office at the school. They are not chosen by national committees seeking the best students from their country.

39

SAS?

40

Nope. International students there apply directly to the school and are chosen by the AOs. Neither SAS nor George are part of an international network of boarding schools.
