British boarding schools

British boarding schools are educational institutions where students live on campus during the school term. They offer a structured environment focused on academics, sports, and personal development. Typically for children aged 8 to 18, these schools provide a range of extracurricular activities and promote independence. Many have a long-standing tradition and may prepare students for university entrance or other future endeavors. Boarding schools can vary in ethos and curriculum, from traditional to progressive, and often have a strong sense of community and alumni networks, fostering lifelong connections. They are seen as prestigious but can also be expensive.
