BOARDING SCHOOL

High school at a US boarding school

We know the schools, the coaches and the admissions process from the inside – and guide you all the way to the right school.

WHAT IS A BOARDING SCHOOL?

Private high schools where you live on campus

Also known as prep schools, they're a great fit for student-athletes and for students mainly looking for an excellent education.

High school level

Grades 9–12, plus the option of a post-graduate (PG) year after high school.

Living on campus

You live alongside teammates and classmates from around the world, with staff on campus around the clock.

Small classes

5–15 students per class, plus supervised study hall Monday through Thursday.

World-class facilities

On-campus ice rinks, gyms, athletic fields and spaces for music and theater.

High-level sport

Practice several times a week and games against other schools – often with college coaches watching.

A head start for college

College counseling and a network that lasts long after graduation.

Prep school hockey

From September to March you practice four to five times a week and play one to three games a week, on a varsity or JV team. College coaches and junior league scouts follow games and showcases – and on game days, the whole school turns out to watch.

Prep school is one of several paths to college and junior hockey in the US. We help you figure out where your game fits.
