I'm a recent Choate grad and the school granted me a fantastic education with otherworldly opportunities. Choate changed the trajectory of my life and allowed me to elevate my educational and career goals. While being a non-rich student in such a wealthy environment was definitely tough at times, I am infinitely grateful for my Choate experience and would do it again in a heartbeat. The course offerings, clubs, and facilities at Choate match more of a small liberal arts college than that of a high school, and the opportunities granted to Choate students shine through after graduation.
I recently graduated after 4 years at Choate. Almost all of my former classmates disliked living at Choate, although I believe this was not a unique complaint about Choate but rather the boarding school lifestyle generally. Boarding schools are going to be as rigorous as you would expect, but the lack of freedom was generally the number 1 complaint. Needing to be in our dorms by 9:30 every night, having strictly set schedules which even included mandatory study periods, and having limited ability to leave the local town are a few examples. One of the biggest thing I experienced in my senior year was that getting into college from a top boarding school was nearly impossible. Me and all of my friends got rejected from every school unless we had an SAT at least 50 points above the average for the school. I did comparatively well in the college process, but I know people like my roommate who had a 1540 and didn’t get into a single school. Ps. Choate’s STEM ranking should be higher.
As a day student who has also experienced boarding due to the Covid-19 Pandemic I would highly recommend Choate. Coming from a public middle school, Choate helped me transition into the fast paced life of boarding school and completely changed. the way I approach School. The harkness style of learning and small class sizes enables complex and engaging classes. With a huge course catalog there is a class for everyone. Choate's sprawling campus and commitment to continue to build new spaces makes the campus feel modernized. Although sports are very competitive there is a laid back approach for athletes and those who chose not to. On the weekend, Choate does offer activities but it is mostly up to the students to figure out what to do in regards to going into to town or what not. Overall, Choate in recent years has become more progressive in their teaching and curriculum and continues to adapt to the changing political spectrum of the US.
