<p>I think it would be an amazing opportunity, but I think you are right to be wary. It has yet to prove itself.</p>
<p>Just browsing the website, I’ve found a lot of things that turn me off. The teaching staff is very low, and none of the teachers seem to be that well-qualified. Same with the Board of Directors. I understand the need to keep the school body down–travel is expensive, but I’m just not seeing how the school can keep the teaching patterns if they are, in reality, attending three different schools a year.</p>
<p>Also, according to Boarding School Review, it has a yearly price tag of $125,000, but only gives an average of $50,000 in FA. Also, 70% of the student body (10-11 of the 15 students) are on FA. Now, don’t get me wrong, $50,000 is a lot of money, it’s more than a full scholarship for the average boarding school (according to Boarding School Review), but when compared to that $125,000 price tag, that’s not really that much. Families would still have to come up with $75,000 a year, plus travel expenses.</p>
<p>I think it’s a good idea, but there are still a lot of kinks to be worked out. If it’s still around when it comes time for my kids to decide if they want to go to boarding school, and it’s gotten its kinks worked out, then I’d consider it.</p>
