Pomfret V. Episcopal V. NMH

Prep School Admissions

Hey guys,

I’m an 8th grader from NYC(International Student) deciding between the three boarding schools listed above. Things I value the most: Strong Academic & Sports / Diversity / Relax and Friendly Atmosphere / Matriculation

I know those schools are quite different in terms of campus size, location and learning styles (NMH has 80-mins class). I do like Episcopal, a little worried about the diversity though (13% International Rate), does school empty out during weekends because of its proximity to DC? Do they have a fair amount of kids from NYC?

All threes are ranked the same on Niche, which one would come to mind as the most reputable? Thanks!

I can only speak to Episcopal as my son applied there and we have friends with kids there…it is 100% boarding so it does not “empty out” on the weekends in regards to kids going home. It does offer plenty of weekend activities off and on campus. Don’t know about the geographic location mix…but we are in North Carolina and have 5-10 kids from our city attending Episcopal…Good luck!!!
