Introducing Boarding Schools in the USA

In the United States there is a network of independent residential schools for boys and girls aged 10 to 18 years old. Called "boarding schools," they were established by dedicated educators to meet specific goals. These goals were usually to have students achieve excellence in academics, gain sound moral and spiritual character, and develop physical strength and dexterity, usually through competitive sports.

The primary aim of the majority of boarding schools is to fully prepare young students for enrollment in leading universities. Some of these boarding schools are over 200 years old and have educated many of the world's most influential and successful business executives, politicians, scientists, educators and leaders of the 20th century.
