<strong>Schools</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>UK</strong><br />

The th<strong>in</strong>gs you learn <strong>in</strong> school are immensely different from the lessons you learn <strong>in</strong> board<strong>in</strong>g school,<br />

especially when it comes to practical life skills and values. If you are ever <strong>in</strong> the position to decide<br />

between day school and board<strong>in</strong>g school educ<strong>at</strong>ion, it is important to consider these unique lessons<br />

th<strong>at</strong> are best learned <strong>in</strong> priv<strong>at</strong>e board<strong>in</strong>g school sett<strong>in</strong>gs:<br />

• Independence – One of the ma<strong>in</strong> th<strong>in</strong>gs th<strong>at</strong> priv<strong>at</strong>e board<strong>in</strong>g school educ<strong>at</strong>ion teaches, is<br />

real <strong>in</strong>dependence is learned when you are placed <strong>in</strong> a foreign, with its own environment<br />

where you have no one to rely on when it comes to manag<strong>in</strong>g your own schedule (and<br />

practically your life), but yourself. A gre<strong>at</strong> precursor to university life, board<strong>in</strong>g school liv<strong>in</strong>g<br />

gives you an opportunity and freedom to learn and embrace <strong>in</strong>dependence.<br />

• Adaptability – Homesickness can be a real challenge th<strong>at</strong> many board<strong>in</strong>g school students<br />

experience. <strong>Learn</strong><strong>in</strong>g to cope with miss<strong>in</strong>g home by embrac<strong>in</strong>g their situ<strong>at</strong>ion is where<br />

homesickness ends and adaptability beg<strong>in</strong>s.<br />

• Resourcefulness – Another important life lesson best learned <strong>in</strong> priv<strong>at</strong>e board<strong>in</strong>g school is<br />

resourcefulness and the ability to work with wh<strong>at</strong> is currently there <strong>at</strong> your disposal. With no<br />

mom or dad to do and buy th<strong>in</strong>gs for you, you learn how to make the most of wh<strong>at</strong> you have,<br />

which can be extremely valuable and time comes when you gradu<strong>at</strong>e from full-time study and<br />

start your way to work <strong>in</strong>to <strong>in</strong>dustries.<br />

• Tolerance and consider<strong>at</strong>ion of others – Liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> a board<strong>in</strong>g school sett<strong>in</strong>g is hugely<br />

different from liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> your own home. <strong>You</strong> live under different house rules and you have to<br />

learn how to be consider<strong>at</strong>e to the same people th<strong>at</strong> you go to school with, because your<br />

lifestyle is go<strong>in</strong>g to directly affect your reput<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>in</strong> the school community. <strong>You</strong> also become<br />

more responsible for your actions because you are represent<strong>in</strong>g not only yourself but your<br />

people, especially when study<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> an <strong>in</strong>tern<strong>at</strong>ional board<strong>in</strong>g school.<br />

• Trust<strong>in</strong>g the right people – In a board<strong>in</strong>g school, you learn to trust the right people and<br />

how to be cautious <strong>in</strong> choos<strong>in</strong>g your friends. <strong>You</strong> discover th<strong>at</strong> the world will not always be as<br />

k<strong>in</strong>d, so you know when to let your guard up.<br />

• <strong>Learn</strong><strong>in</strong>g about yourself – Introspection and m<strong>at</strong>urity are also among the gre<strong>at</strong>est lessons<br />

you learn when liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>dependently <strong>in</strong> a board<strong>in</strong>g school. In the process, you know more<br />

about yourself, wh<strong>at</strong> drives you, and wh<strong>at</strong> you really want out of life. <strong>You</strong> ga<strong>in</strong> a clearer vision<br />

of self and your personal goals.
