Boarding Schools

Introduction: A boarding school is an institution where children live within premises while being given formal instruction.  

Aim: In the current review study, the way boarding schools operate is shown, alongside their pros and cons. 

Methodology: The study’s material consisted of articles related to the topic, found in Greek and International και databases, the Google Scholar, and the Hellenic Academic Libraries Association (HEAL-Link).  

Results: In boarding schools, children study and live during the school year with their fellow students and possibly teachers or administrators. In some societies and cultures, boarding schools are the most elite educational option, whereas in other contexts, they serve as places to segregate children deemed a problem to their parents or wider society.  

Results: Parents must first and foremost be absolutely certain that their children will be helped in such a school, as many of them will inevitably face some difficulties adapting in such an environment.  

Keywords: Education, students, boarding schools, pros, cons.
