Boarding Schools for Girls FAQs
Why choose a boarding school for girls for my child?
The schools offer a safe and comfortable environment for the girls without unnecessary distractions, they also offer outdoor activities and specialist subjects to help the girls achieve their goals and aspirations and aim to cultivate self-confidence, independence and responsibility so that the girls leave fully equipped for an active and positive role in an ever-changing world.
How to find the best girls’ boarding school for my child?
There is a lot to think about when looking for the best girls’ boarding school for your child, as the choice of school will have a lasting impression upon your child’s life. Be realistic. There is no point in choosing a highly academic school if your child will struggle to keep up with these types of demands. Don’t be tempted to only look at schools that have the best results, they may just have a more rigorous selection policy. We can advise you on finding the best boarding school for girls.
Is co-educational or single-sex education the best choice for a girls’ boarding school?
Girls that favour single-sex education often argue that academic results tend to be better without the distractions of the opposite sex; those who favour co-education would not only dispute that assertion but also argue that their system was a more natural environment in which to be educated for life in the outside world. Parental preference is a key factor in making this decision.
