How to Register for the 2005 Conference This section contains an easy-to-follow description and explanation of the boarding school admission process.The decision to apply to boarding school provides a wonderful opportunity for self-discovery and, as with any major decision, will require a good deal of time and energy. The ultimate goal of this process is to find schools that offer the courses, programs, and extra-curricular activities that are good matches for a student's skills, talents and abilities. Just as individuals have unique interests and needs, boarding schools have unique missions and programs. Given the variety of options, researching schools is important to ensure that the student finds the schools that are appropriate. More about Registration Once you have generated a list of boarding schools, you can link to their websites. School websites contain a great deal of information. Some websites offer a virtual tour of campus while others will allow you to view the latest edition of the school newspaper or view the academic schedule and course descriptions. If you wish to receive more information about a school, complete an online information request form or call the school's admission office. Schools will send viewbooks, videos, and curriculum information free of charge. Upon request, schools will often provide names of parents, alumni/ae and others whom you can contact for a personal point of view. More about Registration The initial contact should be made directly to the Admission Office. Most admission offices are open during normal business hours. As you learn about individual schools through their websites, written materials, and direct communication with admission officers, keep track of any questions you may have that are not being answered. Admission officers enjoy talking about their schools and will be happy to answer your questions. To show your initiative, however, avoid asking about things that you can easily learn about on the school's website or in their written materials such as enrollment numbers or the name of the school head. Instead, ask about matters that are not as easy to convey in written materials.
