In addition to small-class teaching, enviable campus facilities and more flexible teaching methods, what enabled nearly half of independent school students achieving A*-A in their A-levels exams? Traditionally boarding schools are a strong advocate for extracurricular activities, through which to develop students’ interest and curiosity. How do these experience help students thrive in university and in their career?
