Better Chance

Independent Day Schools

A day Scholar lives at home and commutes to an independent school for classes and school activities. A day Scholar is expected to participate fully in the academic, athletic, and social life of the school. Students take responsibility for their actions and adhere to established rules. Independent schools charge tuition; these costs vary from school to school and may be offset by financial aid awards granted by the schools. Below is a list of the independent day schools we work with by state (you can click a state name below to find a list of schools in that state).

*** Please note: Most independent boarding schools allow students from nearby communities to commute to their schools. To find boarding schools near you, click here. ***
