Boarding Schools, a busy and protected life

by DPS Panipat City Education

Boarding schools are basically private educational institutions where the children stay in hostel throughout the year. These schools serve multiple benefits but are a bit expensive. One of the supreme benefit of a boarding school is that the student gets to establish a strong bond with his teachers and since a classroom comprises of only a few students, students find it easy to clear their doubts and to cope up their studies efficiently. Apart from academics, since the students reside, play and study together they get an opportunity to indulge in solid friendships which often stays alive for an entire lifetime.

Students studying in Boarding schools owe a substantial degree of independence since they learn to manage almost everything on their own be it washing the clothes or taking regular meals, fixing their rooms, keeping their wardrobe intact, finishing their assignments etc.

Boarding schools are a perfect blend of opportunities and experiences

Few years before, there existed a very wrong image about boarding schools, they were merely considered as places to keep and train children of callous parents or the children who suffered from learning or behavior related ailments. But now the perspective has largely changed as we see how boarding schools shapes our kids into enthusiastic, confident and life equipped beings. Contrary to the above existed notion, boarding schools are a perfect learning place for children with happy families too all they do is makes a child even more independent, responsible, self-motivated, resourceful and also infuses in him social skills, all these factors in turn help a child to stand firm in the crowd and he also learns to cope up with things like peer pressure, emotional snags etc.

Children in boarding schools are taught to be more and more organized and disciplined. Earlier, there existed a wide communication gap between the parents and the teachers of the boarding schools since most of these schools are located far away from the place where the parents reside so attending the parents and teachers meet was a bit challenging task but now almost every boarding school in Haryana has a site which contains a section exclusively built for the interaction of parents and teachers/ school officials in a safe and secure environment. In this way, the parents stay updated regarding the activities going on in the school.
