New England

The Junior Boarding School Association (JBSA) is a small grouping of select, highly prestigious boarding schools from New England and New York state. They are considered to be the leading feeder schools for pupils intending to apply to the leading college-preparatory boarding schools in the region. The schools were historically regarded as essential stepping stones for the boys and girls of America’s social classes before attending premier boarding schools and, ultimately, matriculating into Ivy League universities and Little Ivy colleges. Today, the schools are renowned as academically and athletically elite schools that are working hard to meet the demands of modern families seeking a diverse student body, curriculum and a rigorous preparatory program open to all, regardless of background.
