Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Perhaps you could start by researching different boarding schools - location, number of students, cost, classes on offer, etc. There may also be info about the number of their students that go on to college; this is info your current high school will be able to tell you, allowing you to do a comparison.
Boarding school is a huge transition, and it's not something to be taken lightly. If your desire to move away is based solely on your relationship with your mother, you might want to take a lot of time to consider if this is what you really want. Many people don't get along with their parents at your age, and while it can be extremely frustrating, being at home still offers a lot of advantages (and freedom) that boarding school may not have.
This is something that your parents will probably not immediately jump on board with, particularly due to the cost, the idea of you moving away, etc. Be sure in yourself before you broach the topic with them, and then just try to stay calm and have an adult-to-adult conversation with them.
Whatever happens, I hope it's right for you.
