Prep school is a big decision. Few other family choices include so many components of such importance.

• Your child
• Your child’s future
• Your child’s education
• The sport your child loves
• Your child living away from home
• Your child’s college options

If you tried to save money by painting your own dining room and it didn’t turn out like you hoped, you could pay someone $500 to fix it a month later. The damage is minimal. A bad prep school choice is a much bigger problem. We’re not talking about painting the dining room. You need to get it right the first time.
