Boarding School Stories: From Personal Experiences

“At boarding school, my teachers didn’t follow a curriculum where they had to teach to the test.  They allowed us, and encouraged us, to think outside the box.  I was challenged as an individual and they knew my strengths and weaknesses.”

“Boarding school changed my life.  So many people had a profound impact on my life.  I learned how to properly study at boarding school.  My habits, time management, and study skills all drastically improved.  I learned to read a lot.  I was well prepared for the routines of college.”

“Boarding schools really work to have as much diversity as possible.  It is great to be sitting in a classroom with students from all over the world with their differences in thoughts, customs, and religious beliefs and practices.  It was an incredible experience as I learned about so many different perspectives.”

“Outside of the classroom there is a wealth of opportunity to experience so many extra-curriculars – whether it be from the visual arts, to the theater, to athletics, to community service.”

“Being classmates with people from different diverse backgrounds and from all around the world was amazing.  I formed some really good deep and meaningful relationships with other students and faculty which have stayed with me throughout my life.  There is an awesome sense of community.  It is really genuine.”

“Boarding Schools give students an opportunity to do things that they have never tried before by offering great exposure to new activities.”
