boarding school

What is boarding school?

 

Boarding schools are boarding schools.

This type of school can be said to be one of the symbols of British education.

Old schools like Eton are world famous.

Many boarding schools often have a long history and are full of strong " aristocratic " colors.

 

In boarding schools, students’ life and study are carried out in the school.

In addition to course study, the school will have dedicated personnel responsible for the students' food and daily life.

In addition to studying, we also pay attention to the cultivation of students' etiquette, cultivation, and temperament.

Implement the traditional British culture of gentlemen and ladies in education.

 

In some top boarding schools, students even have the opportunity to become classmates with the children of British aristocrats.

There are also differences between different boarding schools, which are more reflected in the differences in the expertise of school education:

Some schools may be famous for business education,

Other schools may specialize in areas such as sports or the arts.

 

Different schools are suitable for the development of students with different personalities and conditions.

In surveys over the years, it has been found that students from private schools often perform better in A-Level exams.

 

There are approximately 800 secondary schools in the UK that provide boarding for students

What are some of the characteristics and advantages of boarding education?

 

About history

 

Boarding schools were originally established for the wealthy and initially only admitted male students.

After a while, girls started to be admitted.

 

The great thing about boarding education is that teachers and students can live together.

This allows teachers to spend more time with children and their learning,

Accompany them in their growth and academic success.

 

Therefore, parents do not have to worry too much about placing their children in boarding schools.

What boarding schools can provide must be a comprehensive and healthy educational environment.

 

About accommodation

 

Generally speaking, every dormitory in the school has students from different nationalities, and there are usually no freshmen students of the same type in a room.

 

This seems to be the hidden need of international boarding students. It allows them to experience various rich cultures, and a little mixing can also help them quickly improve their language skills.

 

When students feel unwell or homesick, the school will provide confidential counseling services where children can go for help. According to some actual surveys, children will really feel much better after receiving counseling services. This service allows people to express their emotions by sharing their experiences in the UK and at boarding school.

 

Boarding schools do not have very strict security requirements. Different areas also have different entrance codes. Only students in the dormitory know the password of the dormitory. Non-boarding students are not allowed to enter the dormitory unless they are invited.

 

I have interviewed some international students from China, Africa, Russia and other places who went to the UK, and they all said that "this kind of boarding life is easier." We don't know the pressure of students in China, who need to face a lot of exams and homework. This kind of dormitory classification also greatly improves their sensitivity to language learning. The child will learn to be independent and start to become more like an adult.
