Boarding Schools by the Beach

"Boarding Schools by the beach" or "Boarding Schools near the beach"? They're common search phrases that we see bouncing around the web and this site-- on a daily basis AQ's site visitors search for schools that meet this requirement. Made us wonder why.

Could be a desire to attend a school that offers marine biology. Perhaps the draw is an athletic program that offers competitive sailing. Might be the promise of catching some rays during a free period or joining a surf club. Maybe it's as a simple a yearning to go to school near the water.

Whatever the reason it inspired us to break out the map and plot some of the schools that enjoy a close proximity to the ocean.
