 I noticed that these schools are “provincial” in a way that they are very secluded with not much distraction around the area which gives the kids an environment that is conducive to studying

    I went to Hotchkiss back in the 90’s. Glad to see it still looks pretty much the same. The school has it’s own golf course and a lake where we used to sail if the weather allowed.
