Preparing your child for university is something that you ought to take seriously. There have been cases of students who have done exceptionally well in A levels only to go to university and flunk out, not because they weren’t bright enough but because the life was overwhelming. One way to make sure that your child gets a taste of what is coming, but in a sheltered and supervised environment, is to enrol them in a boarding high school.
UK is home to some of the best boarding schools in the world so you will not have a problem finding one for your child. However, it is important to make sure that you take into account everything that your child will need as they get into high school boarding. The most important, of course, is a safe environment where they can study without any distractions. The school should have high standards when it comes to discipline and they ought to have mechanisms in place that help young people excel.
Your child may be lucky enough to know what subjects they want to pursue before they get into high school. It is up to you to place them in a school where these subject are offered and taught by capable teachers. If your child has particular interests talk to the teachers who are in charge of the department and make sure your child is getting proper guidance.
If your son or daughter doesn’t know what they want to study yet they shouldn’t be pushed in a certain direction – it takes some longer than others. Instead, find them a boarding school that can help them grow in different areas so that they have a choice when it comes to choosing A level subjects.
The Cambridge Centre for Sixth Form Studies is one such school. They have trained and experienced counsellors to help students with subject choices. You can get in touch with them through https://www.ccss.co.uk/boarding/.
