You will surely make better-informed decisions after reading this blog post by objectively weighing up the pros and cons of both types of school systems, match them up with your time demands or responsibilities as a parent/guardian and see which comes out on top.
Boarding School For Girls – Pros
Round the clock education and development
One of the major advantages of the boarding school experience is the fact that learning never stops, as students have a daily school routine and out-of-classroom learning environment. Since boarding schools are very strict on assignments, parents/guardians are confident that their child is putting in work in a distraction-free environment.
Boarding school is the perfect solution for busy parents
One can agree that it’s not just the school run-around that eats into your day when your children aren’t at a boarding school. You’re also regularly called upon to make all their meals, supervise homework and ferry them safely to and from extra-curricular activities which can be demanding. Boarding schools are an ideal solution for career-focused parents who are looking out for adequate supervision of their daughter participation in a variety of out-of-school activities.
Boarding School offers superb extra-curricular opportunities
Extensive extracurricular activities when compared to those offered at day school. This is due to the fact that boarding schools have a responsibility to keep kids busy and productive. Boarding schools give children more opportunities, hobbies, and non-academic skill sets required for success in the real world.
Girls Boarding school fosters independence
Private boarding schools in Nigeria help cultivate a self-reliant attitude that gets your child used to the idea of being away from home. This makes it a lot easier for them to make the perfect transition from secondary school to life at the university level. Boarding schools equip your daughter with the independent skills she needs to succeed when she leaves the education system altogether and go out to work in the real world.
