Answer 2

My boy is in a boarding school. It's a senior high school for gifted and talented students. In the first two weeks of the school year, they had several drops from students who were just too home sick. The ones who stayed were those who thought of it as their first move away from home. (I'm an adult, on my own... sort of.)

The good side, he spends a lot of time with other students who have an interest in the same things that he does. He has more opportunity to develop his talents. Social status is based on good grades which encourages students to constantly try to do their best. Colleges are constantly sending him offers. There's are oter advantages, but that should get you started.

Answer 3

Uh. Why the hell would that be an urgent question?

Yeah, nothing like deciding to dump your kids in an institution on a like, spur-of-the-moment decision.

There is no good side.

Making choices that matter and taking responsibility for yourself - living on your own isn't always easy. There is, of course, plenty of support from faculty, advisors and peers. But still, you need to take care of yourself and take responsibility for your own actions to a much greater degree than if you were living at home. While there's definitely structure within the boarding school day, you still need to make choices around how you spend your time, what activities and opportunities to take, and how to create a reasonable balance between work and play. You'll be able to make choices that have a direct impact on the things you learn and the life you lead at boarding school. For parents: this roughly translates to increased maturity, greater self-sufficiency, and superior preparation for college.

Being in an environment where trying new things is encouraged - going to boarding school means venturing into something unfamiliar. Going to boarding school, like any new adventure, means taking a risk because you think the reward will be worthwhile. The good news is that everyone else who goes to boarding school is also taking that risk. You'll be part of a community where the willingness to explore new things is inherent in the student body, and where lots of people will also be trying new things. During boarding school, you'll repeatedly make ventures into the unknown. You'll meet new types of people, find your place in a new community, learn new skills and subjects, and challenge yourself to a higher academic standard. With every little challenge that boarding school presents, you learn a little bit more about yourself and become a little bit more comfortable with yourself. For parents: this means that students often experience a lot of personal growth and increased self-confidence.

Having a lot of fun and forming intense friendships - boarding school can also be a lot of fun. Imagine living in a house with a bunch of your best friends. It's common in boarding school for your dorm mates to become your closest friends and support network. The friendships that you make in this environment will be ones you will remember for life.

Having a wide range of friends - boarding schools actively aim to recruit students from a wide range of geographic, racial, and socio-economic backgrounds. Many schools have students coming from all over the United States and dozens of different countries. At boarding schools, you'll be exposed to a relatively wide range of individuals and cultures, whereas local options may expose you to a narrower background of students.
Having faculty as friends and having them regularly available - students are exposed to faculty in plenty of settings throughout the day - e.g., the classroom (as teachers), athletic fields (as coaches), extracurricular groups (as advisors), and dorm settings (as dorm supervisors). Since faculty are accessible throughout the day, getting academic help is usually a lot easier. Also, relationships with faculty members and adults can better thrive in these multiple settings, creating learning and mentorship opportunities that are hard to find in other environments.

Being part of a proud community - boarding school alumni are generally very enthusiastic and proud of their boarding school alma maters (in many cases, more so than their college alma maters). The traditions and history behind many boarding schools drive the character of each school, and influence each student who goes there. The shared experience of this tradition and history creates a strong network of people and a feeling of community that lasts for life.
