Boarding School Visit, Thoughts and Resources

Writing about Matilda Battersby’s article, “How to get past the spin at school open days” in The Independent (Looking Beneath the Gloss of Your Prep School Visit) jogged my brain circuits into remembering that we’ve written articles covering the school visit, interview and a host of other admission topics over the years that families might find useful in conjunction with Battersby’s article or independently.

Our three articles closest in subject to Battersby are:

Accepted Student Re-Visit Days

Boarding School Interviews

Boarding School Tours

All of our older articles are available at: Prep School Articles & Resources & Boarding School Notes

    Hi,

    I work with The Association of Boarding Schools (TABS for short), a non-profit with more than 300 member schools in both North America and abroad. I read your post about boarding school visits and thought you might be interested in checking out TABS at http://www.boardingschools.com.

    You can check out boarding schools without ever leaving your house by attending a FREE virtual Boarding School Expo. It will help you narrow down your list of schools and allow you to really focus while visiting campuses. You’ll be able to preview close to 90 schools—and have a chance to win a free iPad! Preregister online at boardingschoolexpos.com for upcoming sessions (Oct. 5 from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. EST, Oct. 24 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. EST, and Dec. 1 from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. EST). You can stop by at any time within these hours and meet with prep school reps; watch multi-media presentations about applications, testing and the typical school day; chat with admissions counselors and more!

    Best,
    Amy
