"American Prep is the most comprehensive and accurate book on the
American boarding school experience I have ever read. Ronald
Mangravite captures the many facets of a boarding school education
with remarkable clarity. Without bias or agenda, he shows why
boarding schools are a powerful educational model which prepares
children from all parts of society for success as adults."

Dean of Enrollment Management, Lawrenceville School
“This book is so well-written it is ridiculous. The depth of
thought that has gone into it is impressive; it is coming from a
very centered place that will speak to the heart of any parent or
child considering this particular road trip. I found it very moving
as I reprocessed my own prep school 'career ' in parallel with
reading it...The examination of school costs and financial aid
support is particularly illuminating."
Phil DeMuth, bestselling author, Forbes contributor, Lawrenceville
alumnus
“If American Prep had been available to us when we started our
search, the road to boarding school would have been significantly
less daunting. I highly recommend reading it and referencing it
throughout the process."
Lisa Cloughen, Portsmouth Abbey School parent
"This is a very thorough book and especially useful for
international families. We have needed a book like this for
decades; I wish American Prep would have available when I went to
school. Read it, then keep it as a reference…a treasure trove of
information!"
Diego Munoz-Tamayo
Thacher School alumnus, Choate Rosemary Hall parent, Deerfield
Academy parent
“As parents who stumbled upon boarding school as a viable
alternative for our daughters almost four years ago, we wish we
would have had a resource such as American Prep to better prepare
us for the process. The insights on parenting boarding school
students are invaluable to all families considering or already in
the process of sending a child to boarding school.”
Lia Yaffar-Pena
St. Timothy’s School parent
“Exceptionally comprehensive, American Prep is both a good read to
familiarize oneself with U.S. boarding schools and a detailed
reference guide to draw on throughout the boarding school
experience.”
Paul Sardina
Culver Academy Alumnus and Parent
“American boarding schools are NOT what you see in the movies! They
have evolved into inclusive, supportive communities while
continuing to deliver the sort of academic and character-based
education for which they have been renowned. Through candid
descriptions of life at today’s schools, and detailed road maps
through the admission and financial aid process, Ronald Mangravite
provokes what will be an eye-opening revelation for many people: an
American boarding school education is both extremely appealing and
surprisingly accessible.”
Ian Gracey
Dean of Admission & Financial Aid, Groton School
