Reflections and Advice:

RLS gave me the perfect gateway experience from high school to college. The living environment, the professors, the class structure and electives selections were stellar. Best all around experience of my life to date.
2.) What was the best thing that happened to you in boarding school?
Life long friendships, world class experience, beautiful campus and dorms.
3.) What might you have done differently during your boarding school experience?
Keep the mandatory study hall 7pm to 9pm all the way through college I wish I would have done that.
4.) What did you like most about your school?
The amazing well rounded experience!
5.) Do you have any final words of wisdom for visiting or incoming students to your school?
My dorm Silverado was the newest dorm when I attended and last year when I attended our 25 year reunion it was the oldest the new forms looked like beautiful posh condos all in all the campus still amazing. To families of boarders: there is still nothing like care packages and good old fashioned letters please send them your love.
