Summer Programs at Boarding Schools

Prep School Admissions
1

<p>I was going to post this in the summer programs forum, but I think that I could get more information by posting it here.</p>

<p>I'm looking for a program at a boarding school that I could go to for this summer. I usually attend summer programs at a local prep school where my dad lives, but I feel like I could get more out of the experience if I went to a boarding school. </p>

<p>I've looked at the Choate and Andover programs and they look great. I'm sort of leaning towards Choate because I like the Young Writers Workshop that they offer. Andover's looks okay, but it doesn't really appeal that much to me because they offer limited programs for rising eighth graders, and the only one I would consider is the archaeology program.</p>

<p>So here are the requirements:</p>

<p>Must offer financial aid/scholarships.
Must offers courses in French, Spanish, writing, public speaking, history, or debate.
Must be in the eastern US or Canada.
Must offer boarding.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>I meant rising ninth grader, not eighth, which means I could go to Andover Summer Session if I wanted, but it's too expensive ($5,800 + spending money) and I don't want to go for five weeks.</p>

<p>I know this doesn't really reach alot of your requirements, but I've been looking at the Exeter in Spain summer program and it looks really good..</p>

<p>Thanks, soccerprep, but it looks like that program isn't for students entering ninth grade.</p>

<p>Could anyone comment on the Choate Writing Program?</p>
