I have one Jewish friend who went to boarding school for 2 yrs -- but his parents are the kind of Jews who were embarrassed when he grew up and his wife wanted to have a seder. Too Jewish for them. [ Reply | More

if you've ever really investigated the TT boarding schools, they are really without peers in the private day and public categories. it may not be for everyone, but they are really unique. [ Reply | More

define plenty. i mean in nyc, probably half the population is jewish (at least 1 parent), but nationally, it's a small percentage. i think that at boarding school the numbers are more nationally representative [ Reply | More

A lot of Jewish kids do go to boarding school. One in particular is the American Hebrew Academy, an international college prep boarding school with high school students from across the U.S. and the world. 30% of the students come from 18 different countries. The school has strong academics, sports, arts and an amazing 100 acre campus. Visit their website at www.americanhebrewacademy.org. [ Reply | More
