Is boarding school beneficial to children?

boarding school prepares a child to face the real world, he became independent and can himself lead his life, its not that he will be totally cutoff from his/her family, there are holidays when parents can shower love on there dear ones.
 
depends???

well, it's a 50-50 scenario for me.
coz we all know that the level of education and exposure given to students in boarding schools in way better than in normal schools. there kids live away from the family and learn and lot, most importantly self confidence and decision making power.

but the problem is, the there is no vigilence from parents, and kids are smart enough to fool the system of boarding school.
 
yup in my opinion boarding school is what i think is the right thing that parents can do because i ve seen infact i ve frends who paased out from boarding school ,they are so organised, structured ,they how n what to speak to people very well ...they know how to tackle problems very easily when they are out to corporate world they are full of confidence ,problems dnt take over dem ,dey find problem n rectifies them,,,they become self independent.
 
It really depend on the kid. The top boarding schools can be excellent for very mature kids who need more than their local schools offer academically and socially. The schools know who will benefit, so chances are if your kid can get in, they will thrive.
 
boarding school is extremely beneficial for high school-aged students, it can help them gain independence, mix with cultures other than their own (as most boys/girls boarding schools have very diverse and international student bodies), and excel academically among their peers.
 
From what I've heard from previous students is that it helps them grow and mature since they're out from their parents before college, when there are countless other presures thrown upon them too.

It teaches children to do their schoolwork without being told, how to manage money, how to put up with people they don't like, and so on.

It's also beneficial to parents who want to get rid of children.
 
The following are the benefits of a boarding school:
Small Class Sizes - For students who want more attention in the classroom, small boarding schools are a great option. Small classroom sizes help students find and build relationships with mentors.
Accessibility of Teachers and Academic Help - Not only is close teacher-student interaction a priority, the depth of relationships in small boarding schools reaches far beyond the classroom as teachers often serve additional roles as coaches and dorm parents.
Accessibility of Activities and Leadership Opportunities - Sports, theater, and other extracurricular activities are important components of the boarding school experience. These activities help challenge students and develop their leadership skills.
Academic Advising - Another advantage is in personal academic advising, as well as aid in the college selection process. Small schools will often appoint mentors to guide students through this anxiety-ridden time.
 
according to me boarding school is beneficial to children but only after a certain age limit..too small kids when sent to boarding schools with a view of increasing their self dependence often suffer from depression. small kids need parental guidance and care to atleast build up a small amount of confidence.
 
However, for older students, especially those that are academically successful and eager to learn, boarding school is extremely beneficial. For high school-aged students, boarding school can help them gain independence, mix with cultures other than their own (as most boarding schools have very diverse and international student bodies), and excel academically among their peers. Like the previous answer says, boarding school is also a place where students make life-long friendships and form a true community among themselves. Another previous comment claimed that it doesn't "allow them to see what the real world is like". When, in reality, it's the exact opposite. Independence and choice let's you experience whatever you want. And as for seeing the world, most boarding schools offer in-depth cultural trips around the world. Just one of the many benefits. Not to mention a boarding school student's classmates hail from all corners of the globe.
