Congrats on following your heart and not the money! Provided that your new schooling will not interfere with your current job, I wouldn't tell the boss anything until 2 to 3 weeks before you are actually leaving. Regardless of how much your boss likes you, once they know you will be leaving and are no longer vested in the company long term, he/she will treat you different. If your new schooling will interfere with your current job, then I would only tell your boss on a need to know basis. In other words, I wouldn't tell them your entire plan.
