#I'm always really interested in the push-pull Logan seems to have re having his children around

So general question - how are folks thinking about day school vs boarding school for the Roy kids?

I think what we know via the show/script/interviews is:

Kendall attended Buckley which is a k-9 school

Per "Prague" Roman attended St. Andrew's, presumably a reference to St. Andrew's-Sewanee School in Tennessee which is a 6-12 middle/high school (where Roman was probably a boarding student given location)

Alan Ruck has stated he thinks Connor was shipped off to boarding school for most of his educational life

Based on this, I think I had assumed Kendall and Shiv had attended day school and lived at home until college, but in reading some old interviews I came across the below video clip where Sarah mentions Shiv (or maybe all of the kids?) might have also attended boarding school for at least some portion of schooling. On a semi-related note, there's also this clip of Annabelle Dexter-Jones mentioning that Naomi attended a mix of boarding and day schools which may be semi-relevant just considering Naomi's in the same wealth bracket as the Roys (although probably not in the same social circles due to old v. new money, politics, and a few other things).

So I guess where I'm coming out on this is...maybe Shiv also attended boarding school? I can't find anything where Jeremy mentions boarding or day school one way or the other but I could see a world where (a) all the kids attended boarding schools or (b) if they didn't all attend boarding school, Kendall is the one Logan is least likely to allow out of his watch if he was already "troubled" in Logan's view but still rotating it all in my brain (and would be happy to chat about/hear others views)...

Clip of Sarah Snook mentioning boarding school below the cut for those interested:

Q:  Have you as an actor thought about what Shiv’s childhood was like or maybe even had explicit conversations with Jesse about what did shiv go through in her childhood until we meet her on screen?

A:  Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you sort of create a roadmap of imaginative kind of work in what their experiences would have been and what it is like to be shepherded around and farmed off to some – probably in boarding school overseas for a bit, or college overseas at least; or you know, holiday-house to holiday-house which none of them really feel like a home. I love that bit where she’s showing her dad all the houses and homes that they have and he just doesn’t recognize them. The monumental wealth that these people have which leaves them sort of lost and kind of displaced in the world, and especially if they don’t have a home, sort of family strength and foundation to call home.” (x)

#I'm always really interested in the push-pull Logan seems to have re having his children around #because on the one hand he's crazy possessive but on the other he's constantly cutting them out or pushing them to the side #which is a long way of saying I can easily see any permutation of day or boarding school being a reasonable read for each kid #but each permutation to me carries different emotional balances that I find interesting to play with #also obligatory note that extratextual material does not hold weight - I just often find it fun as a jumping off point for my own thoughts #hbo succession #succession #cast interviews #kendall roy #shiv roy #roman roy #connor roy #sarah snook
