When people mention British boarding schools, they usually refer to independent schools in the UK that come with boarding provision, of which there are over 400 across the country. Many of these schools have histories of over a hundred, or sometimes hundreds of years. Inheriting a long tradition on whole person education, they aim to cultivate highly valuable qualities such as sense of duty, self-discipline, taste, resilience and perseverance through sports, music and arts, extracurricular activities and a structured boarding life. Such is a environment that enables students to develop independence while learning to be part of a team and a community, making it ideal for students lucky enough to have the opportunities to study abroad in their secondary, or event primary school years.
In the seminar, our education consultants will draw on their own study abroad experience and introduce the unique advantages and culture of British boarding schools. The seminar is suitable for parents of primary and secondary school students and students themselves.
Content Highlights
