An American journalist by the name of Sydney J Harris once
wrote that, “The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.”
If you want your child to have a window that looks out on the world, then there
can be few better options than an international boarding school.
Research has shown that children in boarding school are more
independent than others, and the educational foundations provided by this
intensive form of training provides a springboard to greater things at
university.
There are many good reasons why boarding school can
transform your child’s life, but one of the most practical is the opportunity
to become proficient in English.
Most of the world’s top international boarding schools use
English – the global language that dominates the business, science and cultural
worlds. The younger a student is exposed to the subject, the easier it is to
learn, and immersion has been proven to be the most effective method. Different
boarding schools have different entry requirements for English language skills,
but the experience of many is that students immersed in a new environment where
English is spoken pick up new language skills remarkably quickly.
Regardless of their level of academic achievement, English
proficiency can be a major barrier for Asian students who wish to study university
in other countries – or who wish to do well at it – and time spent at an
international boarding school in earlier schooling will remove this barrier.
English proficiency will open windows of opportunity for your son or daughter
for the rest of their life.
