A school board (or school committee) is an elected council that helps determine educational policy in a small regional area, such as a city, state, or province. It usually shares power with a larger institution, such as the government's department of education.
Schools also run orientation programs at the beginning of the year for new international and American students to help them adjust to their new surroundings.
Boardingschools traditionally have been able to attract and retain teachers who are intelligent, dedicated, and energetic.
Boardingschools maintain a balance of teachers ranging from the venerated "master teachers" to eager young talent.
When you consider the fact that only about 38,000 kids attend boardingschools, but 15 million attend regular public high schools, it's hard not to argue that the boardingschool graduates are getting more than their share of the power pie.
Students at boardingschools find the work to be more challenging: 91 percent of boardingschool students think school is hard--compared to 70 percent of students at private day schools, and only 50 percent of students at public school.
Boardingschools can be selective about who they take, so they can cherry-pick the smartest and most ambitious.
