There are 10 schools in the USA with the word boarding in the name.

The word "boarding" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to historical and educational practices dating back to the 19th and early 20th centuries. Many early American boarding schools were established to provide education to students living in rural or remote areas where daily travel to school was impractical. These schools offered not only academic instruction but also housing and meals, allowing students to live on campus during the school term. Over time, the term "boarding" became associated with institutions that provide a comprehensive environment, focusing on both academic and personal development. In some regions, especially in the West and Midwest, boarding schools also played a significant role in serving Native American students, although their legacy is complex and sometimes controversial. The continued use of "boarding" in school names reflects these historical roots and the distinct identity of schools that offer residential programs alongside standard education.
