Deciding if boarding school is right for your child

Share

Dr Justin Coulson, from Happy Families, discusses the all-important questions parents ask themselves when considering boarding school for their child—”is boarding school right for my child?” and “is a boarding school right for my child?”.

There are many reasons you might consider boarding school for your child, including access to resources, peers, opportunities, and a certain type of educational experience.

If you decide that boarding school is right for your child, there are several things to consider when deciding on a particular one. This includes co-ed or non co-ed, religious or non-religious, the overall environment, past histories with previous schools, and costs.

The School of the EXPO Award celebrates genuine connection between families and schools. Voted on by families attending each event, the award recognises schools that stand out for their friendliness, presentation, and knowledge of boarding life. It’s a fun, interactive way for families – and their children – to engage with the schools in the room, while giving exhibitors valuable feedback on what resonates most. Each winning school receives a free registration for the following year’s Expo in recognition of their excellence.
