High Schools you would have liked to have gone to

[cashmoney]

My highschool was really big as well as expensive to attend. However, if I had to pick one to attend now that I look back...had I lived in Jacksonville instead of Palm Beach, I would have picked Bolles. One of my best friends went there and I believe its either the most expensive or 2nd most expensive college prep school to attend in Florida (Might be behind the one in Miami that Bush's children went to)

Here it is:

If you could pick, which one (if any) would you have attended?


*ETA* Check out the upper school campus here

Andover orEton. This is, of course, a dream list as I am not a male.

Well, Andover's co-ed now, so if you were to somehow become 14 years old again, you could go.

I would have wanted to go to a co-ed boarding school myself...

Trinity College School (all guys until the early 90s and formerly my alma mater's "official" brother school (everyone seems to think my high school's brother school is UCC, but it isn't, really) www.tcs.on.ca

or Ridley College www.ridley.on.ca. Ridley was the first of the "Little Big Four" schools to go co-ed (Trinity is the other co-ed one). St. Andrew's College in Aurora, Ontario and Upper Canada College (UCC) are still guys only and will unlikely go co-ed.

If I had my OAC (senior) year to do over, I would have like to go here:

Neuchatel Junior College http://tindalos.njc.ch/school/ This school only offers courses for one's final year of high school. You live with a host family and absorb European culture while studying an Ontario curriculum. I know a couple of people who went there, and they came back a little more "sophisticated"

Edited to add names of schools and a little about them

I had my choice of schools in Jacksonville. I am not really an athlete, so I went to the other school that rivals Bolles in education - Episcopal.

If I had had my choice of anything a nice Swiss boarding school would have been good. Otherwise the National Cathedral school for girls, or as long as we're dreaming Andover or Eton.

The Sidwell Friends School

And Degrassi High.

94. I don't know a lot about BK, but it is pretty much accepted that Bolles, Episcopal and BK are the top 3. BK coming in 3rd. I think that at that point it just comes down to what's more important. Athletics, Academics, or Religion. Not to say any of them give less of an education they just have different focuses.

ETA: I was just thinking how funny it is. Bolles' colors are Orange and Blue and Episcopal's are Garnett and Gold. hmmmm......

I think it would have been pretty cool to go to Shady Side Academy like my younger sister did. However, I probably wasn't smart enough to get in and I was DEFINITELY too lazy to work hard enough to get good grades there.

Not to mention the tuition -- oy! My sister was on full scholarship (no way could my family afford that place), but the tuition back then was around 15K a year. I noticed that the website doesn't even post the tuition now; I guess they adhere to the old saying, "If you have to ask, you can't afford it."

Pity though, the boys that went there were really cute

My dad wanted to send me there. Luckily my mom is really cheap and convinced my dad that I would be fine in a public school. So NMHS woohoo!

Before my brother could get into the Naval Academy he had to go to Kiski Prep. I loved visiting him there, such hot boys

I'm not married. I don't have kids. But I feel intense pressure to get ready for pre-school applications. I don't want my kids slumming it at a public school. Next to you know they'll go to a state school and work for the government. No...no....no. My children will have the luxury of money. They will grow to cause trouble and sneak away at night from their dorms at the age of 15 to spend my money on cocaine and cheap girls.

--My girls from Deerfield and the Philips schools were the biggest whores I knew and the ones who went to those Friends school were too busy for school because oh yeah they were tripping on shrooms

Why do you think I wanted to go?

The Kamehameha Schools -- probably *THE* richest school in the entire United States. The school was created by the endowment received from Kamehameha I's great-grandaughter (Bernice Pauahi Bishop) upon her death.

Admission is cutthroat and selective, but one must be part Hawaiian in order to attend Kamehameha.

Since the creation of the school, the Kamehameha Schools Bishop Estate has evolved into an empire, with real estate holdings all over the world worth billions. The majority of their $$$, of course, goes to the school.

Imua Kamehameha!

There are two here in Texas that I woudl have liked to attend.

The first is Texas Millitary Institute. Its a Eposcipal in nature and is pretty impressive. General Douglass McArthur is a grad. I dont knwo if I could have done the boarding tho. Family would have never gone for that. See Texas Military Institute

Also St. Marys Hall in SA is considered the 'Lucky Sperm Club' cause its where ya go if you have $$ and are catholic. I am not catholic, but it woudl have been cool to go there. See St. Mary's Hall

I knwo a lot of people who went to Marine Millitary Academy in Harlengen, TX. Thats some scary stuff. You knwo they take their stuff seriously when their address is 320 Iwo Jima Drive lol. Its where you went in Texas after you had gotten arrested 3 or 4 times and your parents had $, but were tired of dealing with you. Its run by former Marine Drill instructors. I couldnt handle that today, much less in HS. Plus, from what I hear, the kids there were still all wild and shit, they just got yelled at a lot more. See MMA
