boarding school is a place where parents ship off their own kids. don't get me wrong going away prepares kids for college more than any other place. you have life changing experiences but many times the kids 80% of the time feel completely abandoned. most of the time its just a bunch of flithy rich kids,once in a while you will find a kid on financial aid that slips through the cracks, and ends up feeling like an outcast because they can't keep up with the rich kids. many kids are secretly suicidal because of the pressure to get into a good college, get good grades. and really smart people are outshined by even smarter ones. drugs and alcohal are used alot the schools have no idea. many students from prep school go to colleges like columbia and Harvard. if your going to go to boarding school go to one in Connecticut.. i mean it is the richest state in the nation. duh

Get the boarding schoolmug. In the United States, enrollment reached its peak in the early 1960s, with approximately 5.2 million students. American Catholic elementary schools have seen a steep decline in enrollment in recent decades. Many are now closed. The system can be highly political and out of touch with the spiritual needs of its stakeholders. Actions speak louder than words. Pay attention IF and HOW the community is making a difference in children's faith journey, care for social justice, and building a better world, etc. If the school claims "excellent education," what is their definition of excellence? What benchmarks are they using?
PROS: People are generally nice. Spring break, summer break, winter break, students are fun, work is not stressful.
CONS: Low professional development/leadership pipeline opportunities for teachers and staff, very low pay, can be political. Low-tech. Religion/faith formation ironically can feel like an afterthought, a mandatory checkmark.
SUGGESTIONS: School communities vary. Read online reviews, visit schools, and do your research. Some schools are genuinely worth the investment. Others not so much. Independent Catholic elementary schools and Catholic high schools tend to have more resources. They share the same Catholic identity as its diocesan/archdiocesan schools but operate under separate governing structures: more innovation, less bureaucracy.

Get the school shoppingmug. One bad thing about schools is the school bus being such an uncomfortable vehicle. Why use a special kind of bus for school. Why not just make all school buses like city buses with comfortable seats. See fire alarm .

Get the school busmug. Easiest school ever if u fail here ur a dumbass. Teachers are ok but all the kids are dumbasses and prudes. This is the school where all the kids who got kicked out of other schools go to. THE MOST rachet girls go here for example girls that wear buns with edges and eat takis in the morning dont forget the MOST disrespectful to teachers. If its a cold day no worry one of the rachet girls will show up with a nasty blanket oh and it wouldnt be a morning without BESTFRANNNNNN. There is no inbetween normal doesnt exist. Its either the rachet girls or the prude girls. All the kids all come from weston so ofcourse they dont know how to party (so nothing fun ever happens) LMAO i swear these kids would die if they went to a real party. Okay now lets talk about the type of groups there are first the latin/hispanic group who think their the shit. Like I swear they have no other friends than in their group. The weird emo kids who are in band and are always kissing in the hallways. The theatre kids who arent that bad just really annoying. The incoming freshmen which are exactly what you expect them to be disrespectful to their teachers and always say “AND I OOP , SKKSKSKSSSK and thats the tea” sis. The prude and way too nice girls that legit think they own the school.
