* New England: This region (Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut) has a particularly high concentration of boarding schools, historically significant and often prestigious.
* Mid-Atlantic: States like New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland also have a substantial number of boarding schools, ranging from highly selective to more specialized programs.
* The South: While fewer in number than in New England or the Mid-Atlantic, several states in the South offer boarding school options.
* Midwest: A smaller number of boarding schools exist in the Midwest, often with a focus on specific areas of study or religious affiliation.
* West Coast: California and other West Coast states have some boarding schools, though typically fewer than in the eastern regions.
To find boarding schools in a specific location, you should use online search engines and directories specifically dedicated to boarding schools. Some popular resources include:
* Boarding School Review: This website provides reviews and information on many boarding schools.
* The Association of Boarding Schools (TABS): This organization represents many boarding schools and offers resources for finding them.
* Other online directories: Many educational websites maintain directories of boarding schools. Search for "boarding schools in [state]" or "boarding schools near me."
Keep in mind that searching by state, region, or even specific program areas (e.g., military schools, arts schools, religious schools) will be more effective than a general search.
