Last year our readership grew immeasurably through the contributions of the Boarding School Mom, Marylou Marcus, Tom O’Dell and Leo Marshall.

This year we’re thrilled to announce that the lineup gets even bigger by expanding our coverage with the addition of voices and views from members of the boarding school community.

A fantastic stable of contributors will make regular contributions throughout the year.

We’ll hear from teachers, admission directors, educational consultants, trustees, parents, and students. Each will share his/her observations and thoughts about events, trends, and perspectives from their perch in the boarding school world.

This chorus of views will build a rich picture of boarding school life and opportunities. We welcome the following contributors for the 2009-2010 school year- we’re excited to have them on board.
