Modern boarding schools are relaxed and pleasant places for children to learn and develop. However, this new freedom does mean that boarders have to make more of their own decisions and puts a new burden of responsibility on their shoulders. This excellent book offers advice from a mother on how to prepare girls for their first experience of boarding school. It is ideal for parents who have decided that boarding is the best option for their girls and is a guide to preparing your daughter so that she is confident from the start and can get the most out of the opportunity she's been given. The book is based on extensive research and a sizeable archive of advice and anecdotes from a huge number of staff, girls and parents. The advice ranges from the very obvious to the rather more surprising, with anecdotes and verbatim comments from those who have been there. It will leave you and your daughter feeling better armed for what is ahead.
It is impossible to overstate the value of a good education in the competitive world that our young people are joining. An overseas education at a good boarding school can be hugely rewarding in developing tomorrow's global citizens. This book is an essential guide for any parents considering overseas boarding for their child. It answers many commonly asked questions (and some less obvious!): Is boarding school a good option for my child? At what age should my child board? What should we ask when evaluating schools? What skills should my child develop? How? What is the admissions process? How can we prepare? Based on extensive research and interviews with a huge number of school representatives, educational experts, parents and students, Victoria Davies Jones and Jennifer Ma provide the latest insights, practical tips and advice to all international parents so you may match your child to the "right" school! "I am delighted to see this book published; if I were a parent preparing for my child to board overseas, I would want to read it from cover to cover. It is a source of invaluable and well-balanced advice from which parents, schools and pupils will benefit." Richard Harman, Headmaster, Uppingham School, incoming Chairman of The Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference and former Chairman of The Boarding Schools' Association
