It may sound silly because most kids don't want to go to boarding school. But I want to because I am sick of my home life and my town. I wondered if anyone knew of a boarding school similar to PCA off of Zoey 101? I know it sounds funny to be looking for a boarding school similar to one off of a TV show but if someone knew of one that would be great. I have tried searching google for a couple hours and have not found much. Thank you for your answers.

To be honest, I haven't seen the TV show. I have seen many tv shows, and you should know that tv shows generally are not a good representation of real life.
That said, boarding school is a wonderful option for some students. The most competitive schools have intense academic demands, and might not offer much time for fun. There are other great schools that have strong academics, and great programs in sports & the arts -- plus time for fun. You should search these out.
Here are some references for boarding schools: www.boardingschoolreview.com, www.schools.com and www.petersons.com. You can also go to www.collegeconfidential.com and look for the Prep School Admissions discussion board. You can ask current students on the board what their school is and what the highlights of their social life are.
When you look at boarding school websites, look for weekend activities, spirit week, inter-dorm competitions, etc. You will start to understand what the social life is like. However, most boarding schools are serious prep schools, and the focus will always be on academics and preparing you for college. You should want that more than the fun social life that some offer.

Boarding schools can be a great opportunity. However, I dont know of any that don't require a uniform to be worn to class (Zoey never wears a uniform...most boarding schools don't let you wear your own clothes, ever! Even out of class you have to have a uniform on.) Also, have you seen their rooms? Most boarding schools don't allow you to paint your room, etc. Even colleges don't allow that.
Zoey 101 is a tv show, sweetie. Reality wouldn't make a very cool show, so they made it look awesome. The more you like the way it looks, the more you watch it. That is their job, to get you to tune in.
I am not sure what your family situation is, but the private boarding school in my area of Ohio (not California with all the sunshine!) costs $30,000 a year and they do not offer scholarships unless you are of genius level intelligence and have a very modest family income.
I know you are sick of home and of your town. Most kids in high school are. That is what is so special about the college experience! Use your time and energy to get into a good college.

Whatever you do, try not to wish for the situations on shows to movies. They always have great lives.
