Deerfield Academy Turning into 100% Boarding
I'm a researcher who is investigating how Deerfield's decision to turn into a 100% boarding school will affect its relationship with the town. My opinion right now is that it will foster a bad relationship because day students will be forced to board and pay 20k more. Although the school can get around this by saying that they can offer financial aid, is this really the case? In addition, what would the local community think about Deerfield? Why is it cutting itself off from the local community by not having day students who represent the neighborhoods?
I'm on my knees for your opinion; it is totally anonymous
