What Schools are Most Like Groton?

I have fallen in love with Groton but understand getting in for 9th grade is quite difficult. Here’s what I like about Groton: (1) small size, emphasis on community, kindness, and some spirituality, (2) a rigorous, traditional liberal arts curriculum (Latin, etc.), and (3) ethnic and economic diversity (less of a “rich white kid” feel). What other boarding schools are most like this?

Middlesex has strong academics, great humanities and English, small-size, even an architecturally similar campus. Slightly less so than Groton, but still diverse. St. Mark’s also worth considering in this context, and SPS too.

Thank you! I have been looking at Middlesex and SPS as well. I have noticed that these schools have recently announced a bunch of changes to improve diversity and inclusion while Groton’s main response seems to be they just need to keep doing what they have been doing.
