Take a serious look at what boarding school has to offer your child.
We learned about boarding school when our son was a 7th grader. I won't bore you with the details, but you may want to consider it as a way of affording your child a great education.
Some parents start their children on an athletic path early in life, mostly because they want their child to receive a scholarship to a great university. Consider this, the word is "scholar" ship. Not athletic-ship. I would bet on my child's learning ability over an athletic one.
Here's how it works...
There is a test, the SSAT, that gives your child access to the top 10 boarding schools. The great news is, if you make less than $50k to 70k a year, your child could potentially attend one of these schools for free. Yes! Free!
Is this easy, no but it is so very possible. They are seeking diversity as well as talent. This is something that I wish we had known about when our child was younger. Nonetheless, we know now and that is why I want to share this information.
There are thousands of Asian families applying to these schools and they are paying top dollar. Your child could potentially attend them for $0. The good news is, most schools are looking for well-rounded children, not one dimension students. And, most schools are seeking American students.
Check out this testing website: http://www.ssat.org/
Then check out this website: http://www.boardingschoolreview.com/
The above website gives you the break of each school, including the cost, average scores they accept, amount of scholarship awards. Lastly, when you go to a particular boarding school's website, they will explain everything about the school and the financial aid (free money, that does not have to be paid back). It is not a loan. The money is given to your child directly from the school itself. Most of the graduates from the top ten schools attend top ten universities.
