The question replayed over and over in my mind when I thought about what kind of school I should attend. Should I stay home where I have a safety net if I get too stressed out about work, the community, or events, or should I expose myself entirely into a new culture? I chose boarding school because I wanted a new experience, a new awakening into what the world would be like without my parents. It’s a big trust exercise: Your parents will have to trust that you will make the right decisions and you have to trust the community within your school so that if anything happens you will not have to confront the issue on your own. Doing your research and visiting the school before you enroll plays a big part in your selection. When deciding the type of school you want to attend you should consider:
- Talking with your parents about boarding school; listing pros and cons
- Meeting the guidance counselor of your school of choice
- The disciplinary actions taken at the school
- Asking students who attend the school about big events on campus
