No idea on the schools in the area either, but wanted to mention that I went to a coed boarding school I think it was good "growing up" with boys around (and vice versa for the boys) Having them in my classes, hanging about after school at dinner etc. It was often like having heaps of brothers (and sisters) Boys weren't a "novelty" iykwim? I went to a "disco" at an all boys boarding school...the boys were disgusting and lecherous, they weren't used to being around girls! (but I'm positive not all boys schools are like that) it also stood me in good stead living on campus at uni, again the accom was coed and again I was "used to" having boys around. Just my 2c
