In many boarding schools, students are required to participate in athletics. Athletics mean any type of sports, be it varsity, junior varsity or club. Varsity teams are the top teams of a particular sport. Junior varsity team members may in the future be elevated to varsity teams if they reach the varsity level. Club sports are for students who want to do sports but do not want to go to competitions/matches.
Even if a student only want to do club sports, he or she should still fill in the PIAA form.

The tuition for top independent boarding school in the US is generally around US45-52,000. Some schools, like Phillips Exeter Academy, have large endowments, and they will subsidize the students’ tuition. For example, the tuition at Exeter is US46,000, but the actual cost per student is closer to US55-60,000. The difference in tuition between day and boarding is generally around US10,000.
If you are looking to apply for financial aid or scholarship, you may not want to if you are not a US or Canadian citizen. Although many of the top schools are need blind (which means that they will accept the student before they decide whether to give money to subsidize the tuition), because of the bad economy, it will affect the acceptance rate of your child.
To factor in all the cost of going to a boarding school, it would be:
1. Tuition (room and board is included)
2. Pocket Money
3. Insurance
4. Transportation (plane ticket, buses to the airport, etc.)
5. Books (this should run around US1,000 per year, although I have found that it is generally more, closer to US2-3,000 per year as my children likes to buy books other than school books to read)
6. Room and board during holidays if your child doesn’t go back to China

First your child has to take the SSAT and TOEFL. Yes, it is possible to apply on your own, although I suggest that you talk to someone first before doing so. If you are interested, please send me his grades and I can give you some advice.

Recently, US colleges have become more familiar with the IB curriculum. Both the IB and the AP are evaluated similarly. Colleges are more interested in how a student has performed within the curriculum of their high school. For example, colleges would like to see a student excel in the harder classes at school, regardless of whether they are studying the IB or AP curriculum. However, the difference comes from getting credits for the courses. Some schools may give less credit for IB than AP since (a) the US colleges don’t know the IB system as well, and (b) students under AP may have more background knowledge that is required by a certain course.

这一切都取决于学生的英语水平。新的国际版本较易于阅读，标准英语版本则以传统英文书写法表达。我认为最好是由你找出那一版本是他们在学校里使用，然后再选取相似的。
