Parents often want to send their child to a
proper boarding school because they do not have enough time to look after their
studies and extracurricular activities. If sent to a boarding school, they can
get a proper all over care.
But boarding school admission procedure
does have a lot of steps to be fulfilled. One has to do that sincerely to get
their child admitted in one.
There are admission forms which are
available online. The parents need to keep a check that when these forms are
available. They are mostly available in one particular time every year and so
one needs to keep that in mind. Once the forms are out, one needs to download
that and fill it up carefully before submitting. It is a good idea to download
the form as early as you can so that you can submit the form with all the
necessary documents in right time. If you keep it for the last moment, then you
might miss the final date of submission.
Parents have to go through the online site
of the school thoroughly and gather as much information as possible. Check the
Alumni site of the school and see what the previous students of this school
currently engaged at. Are there profiles impressive enough? If possible try o
get in touch with some of the alumni and get to know their experience about the
school. Check the teachers and the administration list as well.
The parents need to check whether the
boarding school only provides the mainstream academic syllabus which is no
different from the regular day schools. If that is only offered then it is not
the right boarding school for your child. Go for those schools which offer
something extra. Each and every good boarding school differs in their approach
and that is how it should be.
Parent needs to check the residential area
or the hostels where the students are going to stay. How clean the dormitories
are and whether the kitchen and bathrooms are hygienic. One also needs to check
the non teaching staffs as well because apart from the school time, it is the
matrons and other non teaching staffs who are going to take care of the
children. Also the security measures taken by the schools are also needed to be
checked.
It is always advisable to send your child
to a boarding school at an early age because at that age it becomes very easy
for them to adapt the surroundings and lifestyles of a boarding school. Also
making friends with other students is also easier at that age.
Before
starting the admission process in
boarding school one needs to check all these above mentioned things to find
out whether they are sending their child to a proper and good boarding school
or not. Always remember that if a school can make a child, then they can break
a child as well. So, the parents have to be very careful when they are choosing
a boarding school for a child.
