How to Choose a Boarding School

So you've decided to send your teen to boarding school. Fine, but which one? And how can you choose from such a range of institutions?

There are a number of issues you should consider before making your final decision. Those issues include the following:

• What is the educational philosophy of the school?
• What is the overall aim of the school?
• What is the nutritional program?
• What is the physical activity program?

What you are looking for is a balanced program for your child. The school should attend to the mind, body and spirit of your teen. How well the boarding school's program does that will go a long way in helping you choose the particular institute perfect for your teenager.

A school might be brilliant with their sports program or do exceptionally well academically but you want a total package. You want all parts of your teen's life to be enriched and to grow in a positive manner.

Philosophy sounds like a wishy-washy word but it is vitally important. The goals, aims and aspirations of the staff are what will create the type of programs on offer. With the right philosophy comes the right programs and with those, your child stands an excellent choice in making real progress.

The best benefit your teen can receive at a boarding school is to develop good habits for life. Becoming a better person at school and then reverting to the bad old habits when they return home is of no real benefit. That's what separates the good schools from the really good schools.

Parents want to see a changed teen that goes on being changed for the rest of his or her life.

So to choose the best school for your teen, ask the school questions about the topics listed above. Nothing but the best will do.
