"Look past appearances and, to be sure, these [boarding] schools do have much in common: broad, challenging curricula with small classes and hand-picked teachers, who also live in dorms and coach; nearly every imaginable after-school activity; and bright, interested students from a range of backgrounds. Further, none is immune to typical adolescent problems, from cliques and drugs to suicide. Still, the closer you peek, the more subtle--and not so subtle--differences become clear." (U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT) The author profiles some of the country's top boarding schools to illustrate the uniqueness and success of each educational institution.
