Boarding Schools/ Pre University

Additional Details

One of the most important decisions parents take concerning the future of their children is the decision to send them to boarding school. The pain of separation is countered by the promise of a better and brighter future for their children. If the boarding school is overseas, this joy and anxiety is multiplied several times. 

At Access, we empathize with this parental dilemma. More importantly, we understand the motivations, expectations and fears of all the parents who are ready to let their young fledgling's stretch their wings and soar, even if it means a temporary separation.

The advantages of a boarding school education are many:

Is capable of handling issues, sorting out difficulties and taking decisions without undue reliance on parents. 

Gets better educational, social, cultural and psychological exposure 

Becomes more focused, academically challenged, disciplined, motivated and better time manager. 

Is exposed to ore extra curricular, sporting and outdoor activities. 

Capability to forge bonds, friendships and enduring ties outside the immediate family is fostered.
