 Many UK boarding schools combine beautiful, centuries-old buildings with a mix of modern
classrooms and traditional architecture. The excellent facilities help make living and learning a
great experience and pupils will improve their English skills while they study.

Most UK boarding schools teach a mix of international pupils and local UK pupils. ‘Boarders’ are
pupils who live at the school. ‘Day pupils’ live with their families and return home at the end of
their school day. This mix helps to create a good social atmosphere.

Boarding schools usually close for the long summer and Christmas holidays and pupils return
home to their parents or guardians. Some schools, however, run language courses during this
period.

At a boarding school, pupils live with other pupils in a boarding house – there might be several
boarding houses in each school. Girls and boys stay in separate accommodation. There will also
be at least one house parent who lives there to look after students and care for their needs.

Young boarders will share a bedroom or dormitory with other children. Older boarders usually
have their own private bedroom, or share a room with just one other pupil. Boarders might also
have their own bathroom or washing facilities.
