What do you think makes your school unique relative to other boarding schools?
(Brewster Academy alumni, Class of 2011)

"Brewster’s location and community makes it a special place compared to any other prep school in New England. With the lake bordering our athletic fields, and the mountains off in the distance, the opportunity to get out and try something new like crew, sailing, or rock climbing is always an option at Brewster. Or maybe you just want to enjoy your spring time splashing in the lake with your friends, spend your free time down at Brewster beach, or kayaking and fishing, the options are endless. Even to have the ability to look out at the beautiful sunset that casts over the lake every night is something creates a positives atmosphere. The Brewster community is something you will experience right when you step on campus. It is automatically a very friendly place, and with a small school setting the tight nit community is something that can change your experience into memories and friendships that our unforgettable. With most teachers living on campus, and 90% of the students being boarders, the time spent with your peers creates family like relationships, and again because it is a small community the support for one another is endless.

(Darlington School alumni, Class of 1980)

"My experience at Darlington was excellent. I was an only child who was suddenly thrown into an environment where I had 30 brothers with whom I lived with on the floor and a roommate, whom I had never meet before. But turned out to be my roommate for all four years of high school and has been one of my closest friends ever since. You grow up quickly and learn to work with and share your space with others. You learn how to study on your own. The teachers live on the same floor or in the same building or on the campus and you get to know them and their families thus developing a relationship with them that you will not find in the usual high school. With all of the above, you get an education that prepares you for both college and your future life. The school offers you the opportunity to get to know people from other cultures, countries and religions, which gives you a well rounded experience. You have the chance to work with local organizations who address some of the needs of society that many high schoolers have never have seen before in their lives. Darlington's campus is a beautiful setting and gives the student an opportunity to really grow and develope."

(Tallulah Falls School alumni, Class of 2005)

"Tallulah Falls School had a mandatory work program. The students participated in the cleaning of campus, assisted in cooking meals, and other various jobs. I thought going into it that the work was a bit tough, but the experience was incredible. I learned so much about the importance of hard work."

(Indian Springs School alumni, Class of 2005)

"All classes at ISS are very small. The administration make sure the average class size is around 15 per class. As a result, everybody gets the personal attention they need. Also, most of the faculty at ISS live on campus. Thus, you are able to get after school help very easily. If you are willing to learn, they will gladly fulfill your appetite for learning! Finally, our campus is 360 acres and it is right next to a state park. We have a beautiful lake and despite the stress you may experience with the school work, the ISS environment never fails to calm you down. It's always great to sit on a hammock and do your English reading, or grab a blanket and do some homework on the dock or in the dorm circle!"

(Chatham Hall alumni, Class of 2009)

"I feel like our school's Honor Code is stronger than any other school I came across when I was researching schools to possibly attend. It makes for a more trusting and tight knit community. I was also really taken by the closeness of our faculty to students. Chatham Hall's small size makes for some really amazing opportunities to get focused attention."

(Camden Military Academy alumni, Class of 2011)

"Camden Military Academy was a very different school. Not in the sense that it was strictly a military school, but because it has had a positive affect on me personally. As i chose to go to CMA, it had helped me understand personal achievement, success, and faith in myself to achieve great things. It was a hard but a fun experience that i will always remember because of the memories i have made with my brothers there, and because of the times when i would be pushed to the max with priorities and responsibilities. Camden Military is a great school to be a part of, and to understand the challenges you will face that will make you, your son, our your grandson a better, more successful man. CMA has definitely made my business life more respectable and professional so i am in debt to that school for teaching me the ways of setting a schedule and putting priorities first."
