如果孩子音乐方面出色要求高, 学校的乐团除了极少数几个基本是满足不了要求的, 建议找个靠近大城市的学校, 然后课外参加当地的青少年乐团.

St. Albans School是位于华盛顿市中心的一所寄宿学校，我去年参观了这所学校，招生官毕业于Loomis中学，学生和老师都非常绅士，住宿就是教学楼的楼上，校园面积不是很大。国际生比例3%左右，住宿生比例在5%。这所学校大学录取率100%，过去5年哈佛录取17人，宾夕法尼亚大学15人，耶鲁大学14人，哥伦比亚大学12人，普林斯顿大学8人。该校的管弦乐队、合唱团都非常不错。Pomfret School寄宿生比例大约为80%。

Percentage of boarding is approximately 5%. In general, the 79 members of the class of 2015 applied to 184 different colleges and received a total of 304 acceptances; 49 schools were represented among their final matriculation plans. Colleges include University of Chicago, Harvard College, University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, Dartmouth College, Columbia University, and others.

The School has three orchestras, and are primarily performance-based, in the pursuit of performances held throughout the year. Orchestra members may have a wide variety of experience, but all should be able to play their instruments well enough that rehearsals are focused on ensemble skills (playing together in time and in tune, adjusting balance and establishing style) rather than individual skills (knowing fingerings, proper posture and hand position, tone production, reading music/rhythms). For the Lower School Orchestra, a student who can play relatively simple melodies with good rhythm and pitch is well suited to the group.

AT Pomfret School, the percentage of boarding at is approximately 75%.
