DAY SCHOOL 
For students who areE stDudioUus,C anAd hTavIe Oa spNecific 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 child’s 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 
Interviews of several edEucaDtionUal eCxpAertTs aInOd acNademics 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; it’s 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.
