Go to the schools website. Look under Admissions or something similar. All the info will be there, some even have online applications. Generally for the good schools one starts the application process about a year before you want to attend the school, like the Sept or October the previous year, and visits, interviews, testing, applications, all happen between October and March, with decisions made around March. However, some boarding schools have *rolling* admissions, meaning they'll fill an open space at any time of the year (private day schools usually don't do this). Because of the economy, families may have decided to go a cheaper route, and there may be openings at boarding schools that usually don't have any by now. Look at the websites of boarding schools and all the info specific to that school will be there. Look at the Admissions Calendar for important dates. Also, besides the application, some require a visit to the school, all/most require an interview (sometimes you can be interviewed where you live if it's far from the school), an entrance exam, like the SSAT or sometimes the ISEE, and recommendations from 2 or more current teachers, your transcripts. More boarding schools will take international students than day schools. Some of the top schools have several applications per space, so apply to more than one school. Typically even top students apply to at least 4 - 5 boarding schools. Look for boarding schools here: http://www.boardingschoolreview.com/ http://schools.com/ Good luck.

Call the school and set up an appointment for a tour. Call the school and ask them to send you one. Then when you go on tour, they can also give you one.
