Hello! I'm TJ, CEO of Alpha Advisors. Today I'll explain in detail about "Junior Boarding Schools." Junior boarding schools primarily refer to American residential middle schools for grades 6-9 (upper elementary to middle school students). The greatest advantage is the ability to comprehensively improve English skills, leadership, and academic skills by immersing yourself in a global educational environment from an early stage. Graduates of junior boarding schools are accepted in large numbers to top-level boarding schools (high schools) in the United States such as Phillips Academy (Andover), Phillips Exeter, Choate, Deerfield, Hotchkiss, and St. Paul's, which directly connects to future university admissions and career development.

There are significant differences between boarding schools in terms of ease of advancement and difficulty of university admission. For example, Fay School, which I'll introduce today, has produced 34 acceptances to Phillips Andover, 18 to Phillips Exeter, 23 to Choate Rosemary Hall, 19 to St. Paul's, and 13 to Deerfield over the past five years, showing abundant advancement results to boarding schools. Furthermore, Phillips Andover boarding school has one of the highest advancement rates to Yale University in the country. In other words, which junior boarding school you attend greatly changes the "options" and "difficulty level" of boarding schools after graduation and subsequent university admissions. Therefore, before applying to junior boarding schools, it's important to have a strategy that looks ahead to what kind of university you want your child to attend years later.

Today, I'll introduce the appeal of junior boarding schools, representative schools, acceptance results, and advancement support systems in detail. Please read to the end if you're interested. Alpha Advisors provides numerous application support services for junior boarding schools, supporting everything from school selection consultation to application strategies. Please feel free to contact us if you're interested!
