School plays an integral part in shaping a child’s life. It is true that each school has its technique to help its students reach their goals. When it comes to boarding school versus private day school, they can have many similarities but they can also be very different.
A day school is a kind of regular school, which students attend during the day. After the classes are over, the students are free to return to their homes. A boarding school, on the other hand, is a kind of school where students live as well as learn. Not only do they attend school there, but also live there.
When it comes to the quality of education both are well known for their academic distinction and ability to prepare the students for college. They not only use technology inside the classroom but also encourage team spirit in order to help build a dynamic and constructive learning environment for students and teachers.
Boarding schools, however, have a rare feature when it comes to teacher-student relationships and the process of learning. Teachers at boarding schools are accessible to their students beyond school hours. Peer mentoring is considered to be one of the effective ways of learning and understanding concepts. In a boarding school, children also have the opportunity to study in groups during off-hours. They gain a lot through peer mentoring. This gives them encouragement and instills a lot of confidence in the students.
As compared to the day school where children spend about 6 to 7 hours a day, the rules of the boarding school are very stringent. The children in a boarding school get easy access to their school and the post-school activities in the same secured environment. It helps them to balance both- studies and sports. In short, they are prepared to tackle obstacles in all the spheres of their lives.
