...Selecting
the Right Boarding School
Parents
consider alternatives to their
child's current school for a
variety of reasons: the need for
individualized attention; the
desire for more structure and
discipline to learn better work
habits and study skills; or the
dissatisfaction with the quality
of available educational
options. Boarding schools
provide an exciting 24-hour
learning environment, away from
immediate distractions, where
students can thrive and learn to
do more than they ever dreamed.
The right school can provide
countless academic and
extra-curricular opportunities
to maximize a child's potential
and develop new interests,
skills and life-long
friendships.
Boarding schools differ in setting,
size, philosophy and structure. Teaching
and discipline styles, religious
affiliation, and the role of arts and
athletics are additional elements that
define each school. What other factors
should be considered when choosing a
boarding school? How does your family
know if your child will feel
comfortable? Will the school adequately
meet your child's unique needs? Who will
be your child's friends and role models?
Our
Educational consultants are
trained professionals who
possess extensive knowledge of
educational options. This
expertise, combined with a
caring approach to understanding
your child, helps families
identify a school which is both
academically and socially
appropriate.
