[quote=Anonymous]Op, are you from a country where kids gets sent away to boarding school at a young age? In the US, you rarely see kids that age get sent away, the earliest is usually 14 and there are a lot of programs that start at 9th. Before that, it’s not common here, and often only done in unusual circumstances like the kid has been asked to leave all local public and private options for behavior reasons or the child has an unstable home life (or in some rare cases, kid has some unusual interest or focus like Olympic-level sports or military but that’s not the type of school talked about here). It’s not really done for a kid who just wants to learn English. The school likely does have the ability or resources to help an English language learner, either. You are better off finding a local school that does—some publics are good at this. [/quote]
