How would you prioritize these in terms of soccer? I know they are all very difficult to get into and very expensive. We are thinking a couple years out for three kids (boy and girls). Ideally we’d prioritize so we can decide whether to apply for sixth (Rivers and Milton) or wait until seventh (Nobles and the other two). Obviously there are academic, cultural, and geographic questions too but I have a better handle on those. How are they on athletics? Need to consider both middle school (where it looks like Rivers has A and B teams) and high school. Our kids would all prioritize soccer, but likely play lacrosse and ski too. Appreciate any thoughts.

I can only comment on the boys side. Those are all very good. The boys program at Milton is a bit stronger than Rivers and Nobles. That said the coach carries a roster of 35 players, so unless your kid is among the top 15 players, he won’t play. All three of these have rosters full of MLS Next and top end NAL players that go on to top schools and great college soccer programs. All three coaches know what they are doing and are good people. My recommendation is apply to all of them, because they all are incredibly hard to get into.Originally posted by Guest View Post -
If you are looking for a school with strong soccer programs for both boys and girls, as well as a middle school, I would also look at Worcester. They accept more kids as well so its more of a sure thing if they are decent students.Comment

You mention they would prioritize soccer but also ski and play lacrosse. Look at the athletic participation requirements of each school. Some preps require participation in 3 seasons whereas others esp some with strong sports may just require one season and a club or some other meaningful participation in campus life another way. Most kids excelling at soccer these days are playing high level c,but soccer which makes it harder to participate in other sports when you enter high school.Comment

Are you expecting all 3 kids to go to the sane school or would you consider different options for each child ?Comment
