<p>I applied to a boarding school after having been at a private school for 4 years, but I guess that it wasn’t that awkward for me. Actually, it wasn’t awkward at all. But anyway, if you’re going to be at the school for only one year, using them as a sort of railway station to get into a “big” boarding school is NOTTT a good idea. You might get in, but personally, I’d feel all guilty toward my teachers all the time for having used them like that.</p>
<p>Just try applying late to the big schools this year, just in case. I’m not guaranteeing anything, but there is a chance (however slim) that you might get in. I think that this would definitely be better than just going to a new school just to leave it. Not a good idea.</p>
