ADVANTAGES
DISADVANTAGES
BOARDING SCHOOL

• Boarding school offers a completely unique
  education experience, with many advantages
  over other education experiences.
  
• Intensive international programs are a priority
  for boarding schools.
  
• Strict routine and independence from parents
  fosters self-reliance among boarding school
  boys and girls.
  
• The boarding school environment offers
  opportunities for personal
  growth and social
  development that are unavailable through other
  means.
  
  
• Teachers and older students in a boarding school
  environment are uniquely supportive of younger
  students.

• Boarding school is more expensive than other
  education options.
• This is the biggest challenge of boarding for
  many students, but of course this also fosters
  independence and personal growth.
• Parents need to be wary of sending kids to school
  too young or when they have not matured enough.
• Boarding school are not immune to problems with
  bullying

DAY SCHOOL
ADVANTAGES

• Day schools are less expensive than the
  boarding schools.
  
• Upon leaving school, your children will
  become increasingly independent and may not
  ever live at home again.
  
  
• If your child is particularly fiendish at ice
  skating or some similarly niche pursuit which is
  not usually offered at boarding school, you may
  be stunting a great talent which your child, if
  at day school, could be working on in the
  evenings.
• In general, day schools dominate the league
  tables because they are more selective than
  boarding schools. The pace is a lot quicker and
  everything is crammed between 8.30am
  and 4.30pm.
  
  
  
• Remember that education doesnt only
  happen at school, where teachers are
  often under strain to stick to the
  curriculum and focus on exams.
  
  
  

DISADVANTAGES

• Students have less chances to build their
  confidence as compared to boarding school.
• If school is far away than it kills time in
  travelling.
  
• The habit of bunking may develop in students.
• Limited time of day schools lead to neglecting of
  extra curricular activities like sports,arts etc.
  Compromise with school closer to home .
• If both parents are working than day school
  are not suitable.

DAY SCHOOL EDUCATION
For students who are studious, and have a
specific academic goal in mind, day schools
present an ideal setting in which to chase that
aim. The mix of academic-focus at school and
living at home (with certain targeted classes
that parents can organise after-school hours)
create a conducive environment for concerted
studies that might be difficult at boarding
school.

Having shared some
home truths of both systems of education, a
parent really ought to make a decision between
boarding and day-school education, chiefly based
on their childs inclinations, preferences,
personality, passions, interests and leanings. By
and large, kids who are more keen on
extra-curricular activities than academics and
have an innate sense of confidence will shine at
boarding school. While those who are more
academic focused and are not terribly outgoing
will perhaps be better served by a day- school
education.

BOARDING SCHOOL EDUCATION
Interviews of several educational experts and
academics specializing in boarding schools
reaffirmed that education in boarding schools
teaches students about routines in life and the
art of being organized. According to them, it
provides a support structure and prepares
students for the challenges they will face as
adults.Boarding administrators believe that a
boarding school education is not just about
academics its also about character building in
children through extracurricular activities. It
imparts life skills and prepares children for
leadership roles.Educators promote the fact that
boarders live out values like confidence,
humility, resilience, courage, kindness,
determination, and hard work that are only
mentioned in passing in regular classroom
teaching.Statistics show that 50 of the students
in any boarding school are the only child of
parents. In this way, boarding schools
may salvage such students from growing up in
seclusion and boredom.

CONCLUSION
As your child gets older, he or she may develop
the maturity to handle the independence that
comes with boarding school, which typically
starts at middle or high school. This more
immersive route of education offers ample
opportunities for kids to grow as human beings,
build meaningful relationships with peers and
teachers, and realize their full academic and
life potential, says Peter Upham, executive
director of The Association of Boarding Schools
(TABS), which represents about 300 boarding
schools across the U.S., Canada and abroad.
