Is it possible to apply to more than one boarding school at once?

Absolutely. In fact, most families do. Applying to multiple schools is a smart way to keep your options open and reduce the stress of putting all your hopes into one envelope. Platforms, like the Gateway to Prep Schools and the Standard Application Online (SAO),), let you send one polished set of materials to several schools at once. It saves time, but don’t get too comfortable; some schools still use their own applications, so double-check each website. Think of it as a college app, but with dorm parents and dress codes. Cast a thoughtful net and focus on fit, not just prestige.
