Reviews for American Prep: The Insider's Guide to U.S. Boarding Schools (Boarding School Guide, American Schools)

If American Prep had been available to us when we started our search, the road to boarding school would have been significantly less daunting. I highly recommend reading it and referencing it throughout the process. Lisa Cloughen, Portsmouth Abbey School parent
