<strong>Best</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Boarding</strong> <strong>Schools</strong>: <strong>Advantageous</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Your</strong><br />

<strong>Child</strong><br />

The international boarding school experience offers great advantages and benefits to students, with<br />

its multicultural and competitive yet supportive environment. With universities, workplaces, cities,<br />

and towns becoming more globalized than ever be<strong>for</strong>e, preparing your child <strong>for</strong> the real world is best<br />

done in an international school. Below are only some of the best advantages that international<br />

boarding school education offers children:<br />

• Enhanced classroom learning – <strong>International</strong> boarding school teachers are highly qualified<br />

in their specific fields. Most of them also use unconventional techniques and methodologies<br />

that make teaching and learning even more effective. They help students thrive by<br />

encouraging them to share their ideas and opinions more openly. This way, they get more<br />

out of their lessons. A multi-cultural classroom also allows them to learn about how different<br />

perspectives are shaped by culture, flavoring lessons and subject materials with an<br />

experiences and views of students that come from all kinds of international backgrounds.<br />

• Better worldview – As discussions extend outside of the classroom, this continuous<br />

exchange of perspectives, ideas, and experiences are useful to the evolution of children<br />

worldview. <strong>International</strong> boarding school students are exposed to new languages, religious<br />

and cultural views, and in turn get a new understanding of the world. this allows them to<br />

expand their horizons and become more open-minded about the diversity of the world they<br />

live in.<br />

• Self-reliance – <strong>Boarding</strong> school students learn independence and self-reliance as they live<br />

away from the usual com<strong>for</strong>ts of home. They learn to adapt to an independent life where they<br />

complete school assignments and per<strong>for</strong>m domestic chores on their own as they become more<br />

skilled and smart at managing their money, time, and resources. <strong>Boarding</strong> school students<br />

tend to mature faster and often have a leg up over their university peers as they’ve had ample<br />

training be<strong>for</strong>ehand.<br />

• Character development – Residing in a community that teaches them tolerance,<br />

compromise, honesty, respect, and hard work, boarding school students develop strong<br />

characters and a more positive demeanor, as they gain deeper understanding of diversity.<br />

• More enriching activities – <strong>Boarding</strong> schools expose students to an entire range of activities<br />

that help broaden their learning. These activities make great alternatives to common<br />

distractions that non-boarders are faced with like video games, television, and all kinds of<br />

screens. <strong>Boarding</strong> schools create environments that are extremely conducive to learning.<br />

• Fluency in other languages – The international nature of boarding schools also gives<br />

students greater opportunities to learn about and practice other languages apart from their<br />

native tongue. Students become fluent in different languages through immersion.
