For families with Ivy League aspirations, the choice of boarding school is deeply strategic. This guide explains why certain boarding schools consistently place students at America's most selective universities—and how to position your child for similar success.
The Statistics That Matter
Students from elite boarding schools are dramatically overrepresented at top American universities. Elite boarding schools represent less than 1% of students globally, yet they account for 15-25% of admissions at Harvard, Yale, Princeton.
Why The Pathway Works
1. Dedicated College Counseling
Top boarding schools employ teams of college counselors—not a single overworked advisor. Counselor-to-student ratios of 1:30 or better.
2. Curriculum Rigor That Universities Recognize
Elite boarding schools offer depth of academic challenge that impresses admissions committees with Advanced Placement courses across 15+ subjects and International Baccalaureate programs.
