Residential schools have a reputation for churning out not only academically superior graduates but also wellgroomed and disciplined all-rounders
AMITABH BACHCHAN, Omar Abdullah, Preity Zinta and Pawan Munjal have one thing in common — they studied in residential schools. And we all know how well they turned out. Residential schools ensure that all aspects of a student’s life are well catered to.
“This is the place where his innocence, curiosity, morality, energy and happiness are not killed,” says S. K. Sanyal, the principal of B K Birla Centre For Education in Pune.
Life At Residential Schools
After an initial bout of homesickness and grappling with the nitty-gritty of daily life, students begin to enjoy the vibrancy that boarding schools offers. Twenty-three-year-old Aditya Malik of Nainital’s Sherwood School gives credit to his residential school for who he is today. “I joined Sherwood in third grade. The first year wasn’t easy, but the discipline the school fosters in an individual through the years is unmatchable,” he says.
Grooming and personality development are only some of the reasons for choosing residential schools. In today’s time, when most parents are both working, many prefer such schools for their children to watching them while away time on video games, sitting around their nannies.
“Parents with jobs that entail a lot of travelling prefer boarding spaces for their children, to give them stability and continuity that is needed for learning to happen seamlessly,” says Welham Girl’s School principal Padmini Sambasivam.
