The Association of Boarding Schools
About Us
The Association of Boarding Schools leads a national and international effort to promote awareness and understanding of boarding schools, expand the applicant pool for our membership, and offer support and direction for residential life programs. Our goals are to provide information about member schools to the general public, and to engender favorable publicity for the boarding option. We seek to support our schools in marketing, recruitment and enrollment management endeavors and identify the value-added of teaching and learning in a residential setting.
