<p>This question goes to anybody, including students going to boarding school.
What textbooks do you use for each subject?
Please add the publisher if possible.
Many thanks!!</p>
<p>Bump… Please give some replies please!!!</p>
<p>I’ll help you out after I finish packing. Posting just to remind me of this thread.</p>
<p>It’s hard to list because most prep schools have upwards of hundreds of classes, it would be more helpful if you asked for specific classes</p>
<p>Thanks, putnamehere and EnemyOfTheSun. I would like to ask for math, science, social studies/history, and definitely English class/Language Arts. Sorry I’m asking for a lot, but please give me an answer if possible. I’m desperate to know!</p>
<p>Bump. Are there others who are willing to answer? Thanks to everyone!</p>
<p>As putnamehere said, most prep schools have different textbooks depending on teacher and class- history can be Indian history, European, Pre-colonial or Post-colonial Africa, what have you. If you want to know textbooks so you can buy them early, it’s probably not he greatest idea. My school (Exeter) publishes its own math booklets, a lot of history books are also often put together by teachers, English really depends on the teacher, everything from Shakespeare classics to Jonathan Safran Foer, Physics has a problem set, Biology uses Essential Biology with Physiology</p>
<p>My school uses iPad textbooks, super cool :p</p>
<p>The textbooks that my French and Math courses are using next year have such negative reviews on amazon :(.</p>
<p>Also an Exeter student. For US history I think they use Nation of Nations by Davidson. For history electives we would use 3-4 books per class, which sometimes include novels or narrative-style books. For two of my history classes we had large “readers,” which were large collections of excerpts copied from several books. For foreign language there is usually one grammar textbooks and several small novels. For English there are only novels and sometimes collections of nonfiction writing. I know chemistry and AP chem would each use one textbook, but I can’t remember which ones.</p>
<p>Thanks, leppy8882,spaceneedlesevie,EnemyOfTheSun,and musisat. I’ve tried applying to prep schools a year ago, but I was waitlisted at all schools. I’m actually not trying to buy the textbooks early, I’m only try to read them since I’m not going to a preop school. Thanks again for the tips!</p>
<p>EnemyOfTheSun:I’m sorry about that, you might find them good after you get going with classes! Good luck.</p>

Really? So does mine. Completely useless for me. Prefer actual books. Also, Microsoft surfaces would have been much much better ideas if they had waited. Even the ASUS Eee Pad series if they had to start the program this year.</p>
