From an article that appeared in the Gary Post-Tribune -

 Don Bosco is a prep school that only takes kids who qualify for college.

Annual tuition and fees are relatively cheap — around $16,500 — compared to a full-time prep school. The article states that Northfield Mount Hermon in Massachusetts, where Crown Point’s Spike Albrecht attended prep school, lists room, board and tuition at $59,500, plus $2,015 in mandatory fees.

Don Bosco’s teams practice at the old Crown Point High School and play at Indiana University Northwest.

Students’ days are loosely structured, according the Post-Tribune. They take three classes at Ivy Tech. They practice. They work on their strength and agility. Mostly, it’s about playing and getting exposure.

Twenty-six players have gone on to college, including 14 who signed with Division-I schools. The rest, with a few exceptions, got a scholarship to play college basketball.

FWIW, I live in near where Don Bosco plays and they definitely have turned non-D1 players into D1 kids -- some being high major.  Trace Ramsey didn't have any d1 offers out of high school, went to Don Bosco, and signed with Maryland last year.
