Why attend a boarding school? A higher percentage of their faculty hold advanced degrees compared to their public or private school counterparts, and the curricula are often more challenging and varied. Students seeking an Ivy League education, an opportunity for international study, or the chance to work in world-class facilities often find that boarding school is a great starting point.

"Sending a child to a boarding school is a big deal, matched in significance only by a student's decision to attend. Our ranking gives students and their parents a place to compare the schools they've heard about with ones that are new to them.The ability to compare more options helps everyone make a solid, well-informed choice," says Dr. Jed Macosko, academic director of AcademicInfluence.com and professor of physics at Wake Forest University.
