[quote=Anonymous] I guess you’re not British, otherwise, you wouldn’t have to ask this on a US Internet forum. Why English boarding school? Are you in the UK or based somewhere in Europe? Why not consider boarding schools here in the US? I haven’t don’t that so can’t share my experience, but have a 10 year old now, and just can’t imagine not being there every day with them. I also have friends who went to boarding schools at high school level, because their parents worked in remote areas that didn’t have good school options at the time - this was 40 years ago. But going at 14-15 is very different from 10. I understand there can be different circumstances that make this a necessity, but I just wonder why specifically a British school. But in any case, consider somewhere that you could easily reach or there is family support, so the child does not feel lonely when they have regular visits / packages from family and your child doesn’t because of the distance.[/quote]
