An American Boarding schools directory displays all of the boarding schools in the USA. There are boarding schools that offer a military education, an Arts education, a therapeutic environment or a disciplinary environment. You can find boarding schools for students in elementary school, middle school, high school or college level. Use an American boarding schools directory to find schools that meet your initial needs, and then request information from the schools that you'd like to learn more about.

In the lower elementary school years, there are just a few schools to choose from. The Golden Tree Academy in PA and the Oakland School in Keswick, VA are rare in that they are the only two schools that begin in the second grade. Golden Tree serves students through 8th grade and the Oakland school stops at the end of 9th grade. The Ojai Valley School in Ojai, California and The Delphian School in Sheridan, Oregon serve students from third through 12th grade, and the Bament School in Deerfield, MA, and the Linden Hill School in Northfield, MA welcome students from third through 9th grade. Most other American boarding schools specialize in middle school grades, generally 6th through 9th or in high school grades 9th through 12th only.

For a military boarding school, you're more likely to find all-boys schools on an American boarding schools directory list, but the Massanutten Military Academy in Woodstock, Virginia the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, NM, the New York Military Academy, the Wentworth Military Academy, the Florida Air Academy in Melbourne, FL and Howe Military School all offer programs where boys and girls are welcome to enroll.

More often than not, non-military boarding schools, like the Leelanau school in Glen Arbor, MI and the renowned Turning Winds Academy offer a coeducation program, housing boys and girls in separate dormitories and bringing them together for supervised social activities and select learning situations. Sports focused boarding schools, like the Maharishi Academy of Total Knowledge in Antrim, New Hampshire and the EduKick Academic Soccer Boarding School offer advanced training for residential students in a certain athletic discipline, with master coaches and trainers.

Advanced preparatory schools like the Georgetown Preparatory School in Bethesda, Maryland, the Hawaii Preparatory Academy, the North Broward Preparatory School, Saint John's Preparatory School, and the Villanova Preparatory School help students reach their highest educational goals, and assist students with admissions into the best Universities, often helping students secure scholarships and internships as well. A good preparatory school prides itself on a high percentage of students attending the best Universities, and has an impressive alumni program that keeps track of their student's successes throughout the rest of their lives.

Whether you're looking for an all-boys boarding school, or an all-girls boarding school, an American boarding schools directory can help you decide which schools to request information from. When you've created your short list, you can contact the schools to find out about waiting lists, tuition costs, specific academic or athletic programs, and find out which school meets the needs of your family the best.
