LET'S PUT THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE
Let's put things into perspective: In this year's draft, out of a staggering 400,000+ high school seniors and approximately 34,500 collegiate players, only 612 players were chosen! That's a mere 0.15% of all high school seniors and collegiate athletes who made the cut.
Now, out of those 612 players, a solid 420 hailed from D1 college programs, with 240 emerging from Power 5 schools and around 180 from mid-majors. Considering there were roughly 10,500 Division 1 baseball players this year, that means approximately 4% of D1 players achieved their dream of getting drafted.
So, what's the takeaway here? College baseball, no matter the level, is an impressive accomplishment, and your priority should always be education. The odds of making it to the pros are undeniably challenging. Therefore, make the most of your time on the field, but always have a plan in place to secure your education. It's about playing the game while setting yourself up for a successful future!"

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BOARDING SCHOOLS
Curious about boarding schools? Explore answers to common questions about boarding schools, from the benefits of a residential education to the unique experiences they offer.
What is a Boarding School, and What Can It Offer Your Child?
Boarding schools are residential private schools where students live on campus during the academic year. The primary goal of a boarding school is to create a nurturing learning community that enables students to focus on their studies, mature, and reach their full potential.
Why Do Kids Attend Boarding Schools?
Parents choose boarding schools for two main reasons: to provide their children with a high-quality academic or athletic education and to foster their independence. Some parents also opt for boarding schools when they face challenges in managing their children's behavior.
Is Boarding School a Good Idea?
Boarding schools offer a structured and disciplined environment, with set meal times and study periods. This can be beneficial for students who thrive in a regimented setting.
How Does Boarding School Differ from a Day School?
One key difference is teacher accessibility. Boarding school teachers are more readily available to students because they remain on campus for longer hours. This accessibility fosters closer teacher-student relationships and facilitates more frequent study groups among students.
Why Do Parents Choose Private Schools?
Private schools create an environment that promotes intellectual, emotional, and social development. Parents who value small class sizes, enhanced safety, a sense of community, and dedicated educators often find private schools to be the ideal setting for their child's optimal educational experience.
What Activities Are Offered at Boarding Schools on Weekends?
Boarding schools ensure weekends are filled with a variety of engaging activities, from dances and mixers to movies, games, and more. Weekends also provide students with opportunities to visit home or friends living nearby, as well as to relax, watch TV, and socialize with peers.
Is Boarding School Better Than Day School?
Boarding schools instill punctuality and discipline in students, fostering a structured daily routine that includes waking up, studying, eating, and sleeping on a set schedule. This can be advantageous for character development.
Are Boarding Schools Superior to Public Schools?
Boarding school students often report higher satisfaction levels with their learning environment and teachers. Additionally, they spend more time learning beyond the classroom, which can significantly enhance their educational experience compared to public day schools.
Why Is Boarding School Considered the Best Option?
Boarding schools offer a controlled freedom that allows students to experience both failure and success, contributing to their overall growth. Students emerge well-prepared for college and equipped with the skills to manage their lives independently.
