There is much to be said for a boarding school education. Parents favour the rich environment in which their children grow up. But other points that are often mentioned are: the unimpaired social environment - which is often international - combined with the excellent degrees that are achieved owing to the support that is given to the individual student.

Boarding schools give students the opportunity to life and learn in the same place. Together with teachers and other staff members they form a community that is not comparable to that of 'regular' schools.
