Many private American schools were boarding schools. There were two different types of schools. Some were organized like British schools, both preparatory and public schools. Preparatory schools in America had a different meaning than in Bfitain. They were more like British public than preparatory schools. Others were organized like military schools. Boarding schools for younger children were not as common as in Britain, byt rgere were quite a few secondary level schools. This shows the impact of British educatuion on American schools, at least for the affluent class, many of whom were of British ancestry. We are guessing that there was a house system at the school, but we are not positive.
