Boarding Schools
I am going to boarding school next year. At first it was just my parents trying to force me to go, but after I looked into them I actually want to go. :) No, the schools I'm looking at are NOT all boys schools. They are co-ed. :) I have narrowed my choices down to three schools and I have visited all of them now. Here are those three schools in order from current favorite to current least favorite: Vermont Academy (Saxtons River, Vermont) Fountain Valley School (Colorado Springs, Colorado) Proctor Academy (Andover, New Hampshire) These schools actually get a lot of famous people which is cool. Next year Kurt Cobain's (lead guitarist from Nirvana) daughter is going there. I hope I can hook up with her! :D Here is a list of "Notable Alumni" from Wikipedia: "Vermont Academy"
