There are many good boarding schools in New England, for example: Phillips Academy Andover Phillips Academy Exeter Milton Academy Hotchkiss School Groton School Choate Rosemary Hall Middlesex School Deerfield Academy Northfield Mount Herman School St. Mark's School St. Paul's School All the these schools are highly academic with very low acceptance rates it also might be a little late to start applying

I'm applying for Interlochen and Walnut Hill, which are boarding schools for the arts. I hear they're amazing, but I don't know whether or not that's what you were looking for. Hope I helped a little bit :) lol

There are so many great boarding schools. I know you are in a rush, but the question you should ask is which boarding school is best for you based on your personality, talents, abilities and interests. You can research US boarding schools at www.boardingschoolreview.com, www.schools.com and www.petersons.com. You will find a wealth of information and misinformation on this discussion board http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-admissions/. While I think it is not the right way to select schools, here is a list of schools ranked by ivy acceptance: US best boarding schools top 30 list According to prepreview.com here is the top 30 boarding schools basd on Ivy league acceptances.Unfortunately the tables dont copy so in the first paragraph you will find all of the headings/criteria that each school consists of this will show you what each space consists of.
