How to Apply to Boarding school
There is no “one way” to apply to boarding school. With all the options out there,
each school has its own expectations of its prospective students. That being said,
remember these tips as you fill out your applications in order to ensure nothing
slips through the cracks:
Do Your Research
Boarding schools often have important admissions information, such as application
deadlines, on their websites. Familiarize yourself with these resources and make a
list of the materials and dates for each school on your list. Know whether the school
uses its own application or a common application from the Association of Boarding
Schools (TABS).
Plan Ahead
Standardized tests, recommendation letters, and financial aid are just some of the
application topics that require advanced planning. Choose test dates that ensure
your schools will receive scores on time. Give your teachers several weeks to write
your recommendation letter; there are likely to have other students asking them for
recommendations, too. Common applications will specify what type of individuals
(i.e. Math teacher, English teacher, Principal/Counselor) you must seek out to write
letters on your behalf.
Visit The Schools
Pamphlets and websites are nice, but you need to know which of the schools on
your list are a good fit for you. Scheduling a tour or information session will help
you narrow down your choices and focus on the schools best for you.
