The Benefits of Boarding Schools over Day Schools

The debate about whether boarding schools or day schools are a better option is an old one and there are different opinions and voices that one can hear. Parents are often left confused and the purpose of this article to provide some guidance and clarity for parents, to be able to decide for themselves as to which is the better choice for their children. Boarding schools have their own set of advantages and they are listed as follows: Discipline The foremost function that is performed by a boarding school is providing discipline and a sense of punctuality. Generally, children who are naughty and disobedient are sent to boarding schools to change their attitude and instill a sense of discipline. Boarding schools function on strict timetables and children are required to be punctual for all classes including academic and extracurricular ones. Teacher Guidance Boarding schools have limited number of children in each class room as opposed to day schools. This enables teachers to be able to concentrate on each individual student and any student who is lagging behind can be given the appropriate guidance. Moreover, students can also interact with the teachers and approaching them is easy as they are available on campus throughout the day. Family Problems Boarding schools are ideal for families that are separate or if parents are constantly travelling. Many parents today are continually on the move from one place to another and they have no time for their children. In such a scenario boarding schools are the best option for children. Sports and Extracurricular Most boarding schools have excellent infrastructure for sports and all students are encouraged to take part in at least one outdoor sport. This serves to provide confidence among children and also to help them be physical fit. Students who take part in inter school tournaments can interact with students from other schools and this fosters a sense of friendship. Apart from sports students are also required to take part in extracurricular activities that are designed to build team spirit and help in intellectual development. This is an important aspect of a boarding school and many day schools neglect this aspect of education. Fewer Distractions Boarding schools offer fewer distractions to the children as they are kept well away from the life of the urban areas. Boarding schools are generally situated outside the city or in a remote place and students do not have the opportunity to involve themselves in any harmful activities or habits. Due to fewer distractions children will be able to concentrate more on studies and other activities. Summer Programs Boarding schools offer summer programs for students and some of these are open to students from other schools as well. Students are allowed to interact with others. Summer programs include rigorous physical training programs and others such as fine arts and computer skills. Thus, boarding schools have their own set of benefits and they are a feasible option and much preferred among many parents today.

Staying away from homes, they will come to know about the value of family and relationship.

The students at boarding schools tend to share a better relationship with their teachers as compared to the students of day schools. MIT Vishwashanti Gurukul is the best boarding School in India.

Day school are good because the best advantage is child feel secure with parents and share his views

When a child goes to a boarding, he/she becomes matured, self-dependent and self-reliant, and he/she would only learn from their mistakes, when parents are there around they tend to make less mistakes and then they don't learn what they get to learn what they get to learn from a boarding school.

When a child goes to a boarding, he/she becomes matured, self-dependent and self-reliant, and he/she would only learn from their mistakes, when parents are there around they tend to make less mistakes and then they don't learn what they get to learn what they get to learn from a boarding school.
Apart from that yes a child would feel insecure away from parents but thats the reality, tomorrow when no one is there to support him/her, the child would feel helpless that time everything that we learn in a boarding school helps us.
A boarding school in any way is better than a day school.
You get exposure to the world
you get to learn new things and get to learn how to adjust to the environment, coz every time the child wont be in its comfort zone or not might be living its luxurious lifestyle. «less

A great alternative would be boarding school education and nowadays boarding schools doesn’t always have to be located somewhere out in the hill stations! Schools like Stonehill International School in North Bangalore provides a variety of boarding options and facilities to make them feel right at home and it is easily accessible from the Bellary Road. You will know more here: http://www.stonehill.in/boarding/It's all air-conditioned bright rooms, with attached bathrooms, gyms, a 24x7 house parent, a common room, and a vast array of sporting facilities.
