Are you thinking of any teacher or teachers in particular, or the prep school in general?

If you really want to do it, go for it!
I live in Va Beach and I know someone who travels to Greenville, NC every saturday for a lesson.. It's about a 2 1/2 hour drive and I know it's really worth it for them..
As long as you're going to be very dedicated - it will be a good experience in the long run...
I would do it if I lived up there..
Good luck!

Walnut Hill is a boarding school that is offiliated with the prep school and you can study with prep faculty.

I'm talking about the prep school in general. I live in central Vermont but I think the drive might be worth it.
