Did you know that the United States is home to over 300 boarding schools?
For families across America, attending a boarding school is not a choice, but a tradition. And it’s not just for the chance at a better education, it is also for the chance at making the right connections.
For centuries, boarding schools in the United States have played home and school to royalty from around the world (eg. Princess Anastasia of Greece & Denmark and King Abdullah II al-Hussein of Jordan) as well as to America’s wealthiest families (eg. Gloria Vanderbilt, John Jacob Astor V, and Rodman Rockefeller).
American boarding schools have also taught generations of American political dynasties. For example, Robert Todd Lincoln (son of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln), Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith (great-grandson of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln), Ulysses S. Grant Jr. (son of U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant), Richard F. Cleveland (son of U.S. President Grover Cleveland), and David Eisenhower (grandson of U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower) went to Exeter.
The Roosevelt family, who has given the United States two presidents, has sent several of their young men to Groton School, including U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr., Archibald Bulloch Roosevelt, Archibald Bulloch Roosevelt Jr., James Roosevelt, James Roosevelt Jr., Kermit Roosevelt, Kermit Roosevelt Jr., Quentin Roosevelt, Quentin Roosevelt II, Theodore Roosevelt III, Theodore Roosevelt IV, and Theodore Roosevelt V.
Whether Exeter in the United States, Eton in the United Kingdom, or Institut Le Rosey in Switzerland, elite boarding schools have been the beginning of powerful and influential relationships for centuries. So, for this article, we are going to focus on the American boarding schools that have catered to old money families for generations.
We will start with the only all-girls boarding school on our list, Miss Porter’s. This school is famous for helping to create the elegant former U.S. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy and her glamourous sister, Princess Lee Radziwell.

BOARDING SCHOOL ALUMNI
While researching alumni from the above boarding schools, we found so many successful ones in the fields of politics, diplomacy, science, and literature — we had to create a separate section for them.
Out of all them, we found the boarding school that created an exceptionally large number of politicians in the past was Phillips Exeter Academy. There were so many names, we could not include them all without creating a tiresome list. But the list is still long.
For each school, we separated the names into sections by their industry and title. If you are interested in seeing the full list of names and accomplishments, please click on the Wikipedia links provided.
