Queensland, May 11, 2018: Deciding on sending a child to the boarding school is quite tough for most parents as boarding school is not the right choice for every child. Even not every child is suitable for a boarding school environment. However, it is also tougher to choose the right boarding school option for the child as not every boarding school is suitable for every child. Before you look for one of the best boarding schools in QLD to enrol your child, have a look at some important considerations mentioned below:

Philosophy and ethos of the school

You should take some time to attend a few programs organised by the schools to gain an understanding of their ethos and philosophy. For example, if you want to attend Open Days and Information Mornings sessions of Ipswich grammar school, you can contact the principal and other teaching staff who can guide you in this respect.

Current students and alumni

The best way to know about a school is to contact its students, both past and present. When you contact them, you should try to figure out whether they conduct themselves in the manner you would like for your child. It is advisable to talk to the boarding school alumni to know about their experiences. Here, you should inquire about how the boarding schools in QLD helped them prepared for life at university and the workplace.

Facilities

Once you shortlist some boarding school, it is essential to pay a visit each of them to know the size of the school, boarding house and configuration of the dormitories and other facilities. Then you need to find out whether these facilities and infrastructure meet your expectations.

Curriculum

The boarding school should offer a well-rounded education. If you are going to keep your child in the boarding school for a long-term, you should consider a school with more specific pathway such as their scholarship and tuition programs, employment opportunities supported by them and so on. You should also ask about their extra-curriculum activities.

Cost

Above all, it is important to do your calculations. Therefore, make sure that you collect all data on the most recent fee structure and ask what could be included also.
