Why US Boarding School?
First-class educational experience
Boarding schools are independent schools. They are independent in their finances and governance which also means they have the resources to offer a wide range of academic opportunities and extracurricular activities to help students reach their goals.
Academic excellence is no doubt a big focus of every school. High-caliber teachers, who are experts in their fields, are hired to guide and support students in a small class setting. Study hall is enforced in the evenings, so students have adequate time to finish the assignments of the day before acquiring new concepts. Faculty members would patrol on the corridor to answer any questions the students have immediately. Most importantly, boarding schools help prepare students for college. Discussion-based classes and academic papers are integrated into the high school curriculum to lift up students’ academic standard so they will feel at ease when transitioning into college.
A large array of extracurricular activities. Boarding schools make sure their students are not exam machines, and that they find their life-long passions during their high school years, be it academic clubs, sports, art, music or social service. Each school has its unique signature programmes to offer. To name a few: Thacher School offers a Horse Programme in which every student is paired with a horse during Freshman year to train them totake responsibility for the life of an animal. Milton Academy’s Squids in Space Project is also second to none. Milton’s students are given a unique opportunity to work on a space shuttle experiment because of a Science Faculty member’s friendship with the CEO of a commercial space company that specializes in placing experiments in space.
Students learn to be responsible for themselves
Students are given opportunities to learn to be responsible for their own actions. They also learn to cope with life and all of its ups and downs within a community of peers who are going through the same things they are. All of this is happening under the watchful eye of the faculty members who are veteran mentors, well-trained to educate youngsters.
Leadership comes first
Boarding schools are increasingly interested in instilling more co-operative kinds of leadership and team-building traits, creating environments for boarders in which these are ingrained in every aspect of student life. Boarders are given ample opportunities to exploit their leadership talents in different life aspects. Freshmen and Sophomores will start with being mentees whereas Juniors & Seniors years are responsible for grooming their younger peers.
Prestige and selectivity
The more selective a boarding school, the more difficult it is to get into and usually the greater the prestige associated with being admitted. Students enjoy the prestige directly, and parents too. These schools are usually well-connected with top-notch universities. The moment you step into a boarding school; your future is well looked after. Boarding schools cannot guarantee that a student will secure a place in an Ivy League School but they are perfectly comfortable advocating for a student to get accepted somewhere they feel is a good fit for that student. These are also the grounds on which lucrative social networks are built.
