We want to warmly welcome you to Boarding In UK. Boarding In UK’s journey began
following the personal experience of a couple during their search for
independent schools for their children in the UK. They’ve shared their story
below: Having struggled in the past to decide which independent school was right
for our two children, we took interest in finding out what really makes a good
school for a child, how exactly one can make that judgement and subsequently
make the right decision. We could remember the sad feeling that enveloped us
when a prep school we desperately wanted our first child to attend declined to
offer him a place. We asked so many questions but no clear answer, which led to
many more questions. At that point all we focused on was how beautiful the
facilities of the school was and their outstanding academic performance but did
not even stop to ask if our son would thrive in that environment. We went back
to the drawing board and by acknowledging our child's strengths and weaknesses,
we were able to place him in the environment that not only helped him develop
but also to thrive. Here in the UK, we have world class boarding schools that
people yearly apply to attend. This can pose a huge challenge for parents and
young people when deciding. Do you go for the "good" school but not necessarily
the right place for your child or you place your child where they'll thrive but
the school is not at the top of the league table? How do you choose whether to
go for co-education or single sex boarding school?
