For Enid Blyton fans, boarding schools have always been a dream. The hallways abuzz with activity, the chatter of excited students, the delicious meals, the close bonds formed and a lifetime of learning to take back from school life. Closer home too, the culture of boarding schools has been around for years and is just as cherished.
For the ones who have been a part of this system, fond memories are the first thing that comes up on the mention of boarding schools. According to Ashwini Patkar, nothing comes close to the experience of being in a boarding school. In India, the general perception regarding boarding schools is not that great. But only those who have been a part of this life know how special it is. The bond that comes from sharing a chunk of your life with a certain group of people in one’s formative years is not something that can be replicated with anyone else, and this stands true for teachers as well as schoolmates.
However, the emotional bond is not everything.All round development is what the ultimate goal is. Most of these schools have extremely high standards for academics as well as extracurricular activities and are well-equipped for it too. Sports and co-curricular activities, swimming pool, an athletic stadium, wholesome meals and medical care are a regular sight in boarding schools. Right from the Smart Class, the digital library, the equestrian sports centre and the golf course to the fully equipped hospitals with experienced resident staff, the facilities provided in most of such schools are all state-of-the-art.
