<p>Although I think yellow22 has done a great job of capturing what it’s like at Choate, I will add my two cents as the parent of a senior who is now in his fourth year at Choate. My child is not someone who I would describe as wildly extroverted. He is a very nice kid, but kind of quiet and reserved.</p>
<p>Yet he has been extremely happy at Choate. He likes and gets along with almost all of his classmates. He also confirms that Choate does not have a lot of cliques. The student body is very diverse, with lots of international students. Kids also come from a wide variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. Some students come from VERY wealthy families. A significant portion of the student body receive some kind of financial aid. Yet, everyone is treated pretty much equally and seems to get along.</p>
