What is your top 25 of US and Canadian boarding schools

<p>You can use actual rankings
or
Rank them yourself</p>

<p>also what are the best schools for journalism
Thanks</p>

<p>out of the top 25 which school has the best football team
and which school has the best basketball team</p>

<p>You’re asking for like a lot dude, sports can vary by season so the best right now may be the worst when the seniors graduate, and by journalism do you mean the school paper or journalistic classes? it’s very rare for a school to specify courses on such an early level </p>

<p>I think if you want to rank them academically the GLAD CHEMS are the best schools: (Groton, Lawrenceville, Andover, Deerfield, Choate, Hotchkiss, Exeter, Milton and Saint Paul’s) note tha this is not a ranking just an acronym these schools are the best but they are almost impossible to rank, some may be a tad bit better some say the HADES (Hotchkiss, Andover, Deerfield, Exeter and St Paul’s are the best but this has been met with very negative response from several people on his forum) and of course the GLAD CHEMS are possible to rank but unnecessary since they are all about equal. </p>

<p>The other two rankings are hard but I think that Exeter’s football team was undefeated last season. I have no clue about basketball.</p>

<p>i meant like school paper and even a radio station if schools have one
but thanks anyway for GLAD CHEMS
Are Peddie, Georgetown Prep or Upper Canada College not elite schools?</p>

<p>GPrep is very elite I have loads of friends who go there but it’s more of a feeder school to Georgetown…</p>

<p>^^a few adjustments</p>

<p>What makes Exeter the best?
Are there many snobs(rich,ungrateful) kids in Andover and Exeter?</p>

<p>@rad
I would have to say that westy is alot better than suffield.</p>

<p>Well of course there are but generally these schools have been very generous with FA about 50% of the kids at Exeter is on FA and I think the same figure for Andiver is 35%. However this year due to the severe economic downturn Exeter retracted their need-blind admissions policy so there will probably be a higher percentage of ful pay students this year.</p>

<p>i know but i just don’t like it :P</p>

<p>The following data are from boarding school revuew</p>

<p>Endowment per student reflects the financial aspect more accurately.

<p>Anyone noticed that Groton repeatedly beats many of the HADES schools… I’m not saying it’s better it’s just annoying when people say it isn’t equal. :p</p>

<p>SPS is first no doubt.</p>

<p>this is true blue (lol :wink: )</p>

<p>Among the first tier it’s subjective… I don’t think you can rank them, only group them. It’s all personal opinion after that.</p>

<p>Thanks Rad :slight_smile: Glad someones supporting me! ;)</p>

<p>is Upper Canada College a top tier school?
What is Milton Academy like?</p>

<p>These are the only schools I would consider going to:
For large (student body)co-ed school:
Andover
Exeter
For small (student body) co-ed school:
St. Andrew’s
Gorton</p>
