school student, there are other reasons that may appeal greatly to him/her:
friendships. As everyone knows, friendships formed at private schools often
endure for a lifetime. Friendships can be forged on the playing field or in the
cafeteria, in study hall or in class β but private schools also provide unique opportunities to their students that allow them to bond.
Unique Opportunities
