Sending your son to an all-boys school offers your son a learning environment where he will maximize his academic and personal potential. At an all boys school, your son will have the chance to grow and develop at the same pace as his classmates, unlike at a coed school where girls will seem to “grow and develop” faster than boys.
A day school will offer your son—and yourself—comfort knowing they will be relatively close to home. Unlike boarding schools, where your child may feel like they’re always in a work environment, day schools have the feeling of school during the day and break or leisure time at home when school is done for the day.
