In addition to focusing on theoretical knowledge, the school aims to cultivate students' comprehensive qualities: independence, communication skills, practical skills, hands-on ability, leadership skills, self-care ability, teamwork spirit, and organizational skills. These are the principles of the school's education. I once took students to the school for an interview, and the school's environment and facilities were excellent.

1. Location: In the New England region, within 2.5 hours of Boston. It's a "Lake Region" school, competing in sports with other surrounding boarding schools like KUA and Holderness. The school is located in a small town called Wolfeboro, surrounded by several very beautiful lakes. In summer, it's a very famous resort town, and according to the tour guide, there are some good Asian food options here.
2. A very healthy international student ratio and boarding rate. The entire school has approximately 360 students, 80% of whom are boarders. There are about 20 Chinese students, which is a very healthy number. Approximately 5 to 6 graduate each year. The school is controlling the source and quality of Chinese students, aiming to admit better students in the future, create Ivy League success stories, and facilitate promotion in the Chinese market.
3. Unique team-based teaching. Students in each grade level are divided into different fixed teams for learning, singing, performing plays, and so on. The school places great emphasis on the relationship between the individual and the collective. In your first year as a new student here, your advisor will meet with you 4 times a week, staying updated on your academic and daily life.
4. In my opinion, a drawback of the school is its art curriculum, especially visual arts courses, which are somewhat lacking. However, this doesn't hinder the development of your interests.
5. Basketball is extremely strong; they were national champions last year, defeating sports powerhouse IMG. NBA Jazz star Donovan Mitchell is an alumnus of this school.
