Boarding School Era

The Boarding School Era typically refers to a period, especially from the late 19th to mid-20th century, when many children, particularly in Western countries, attended residential schools away from home. These schools often aimed to provide rigorous academic training and instill values like discipline and independence. They were especially prominent among the upper and middle classes, offering a path to higher education and social status. However, this era was also marked by challenges, including strict discipline and separation from family, and has since been reevaluated for its impact on students’ emotional well-being and educational experiences.
