Hogwarts

Though Hogwarts, the Scottish boarding school that Harry Potter and his fellow wizards attend, is of course fictional, it outranked many real schools in a recent poll that asked people in Scotland to rate their schools. After all, Hogwarts has much to recommend it--a relatively stress-free admissions process by which a quill inscribes the names of witches and wizards at birth who will then be asked to attend the school at age 11, and a wonderful school-supplies list that includes wands, crystal phials, and a telescope. Just in time for Halloween, read more about why real private schools should be more like Hogwarts.

Hi,
Thanks for this great article! I found a great private school wa for my kids, but I was wondering if you feel they miss out on socializing with their neighbors? I don’t want to make any mistakes so I come to the professional!
Thanks so much, Scarlet
