Resources CTD FAQs Jobs ... CTD Home Considering Independent Boarding Schools as an Educational Alternative by Patsy Kumekwa, Scholar Search Associates, Clinton, Connecticut Independent residential secondary schools can be viable educational options, but they are by no means equal, especially with respect to genuinely gifted students. This point was brought home to me during a recent conversation I had with an acquaintance. As parents of children (mine a second grader, hers in college) identified as gifted, we were sharing ideas about educational approaches which both recognize and support those with notable intellectual potential. We began to discuss the relative merits of some well-known boarding schools in New England. Some years ago, my acquaintance had explored independent schools for her son who was on his way to exhausting the math and science courses in the local high school. Under consideration at the time was a highly respected and nationally known boarding school. But when asked about her impressions of this school, the parent said, "They just didn't have the right answers." "They just didn't have the right answers" captured for me the distinction between independent schools that compel closer examination and those that probably would fall short in meeting the needs of gifted students. What are these "right answers"? There are a lot of independent schools that possess impressive educational attributes (accelerated/AP courses, small classes, comprehensive art, athletic, and computer facilities, multicultural diverse student population, and so on). Indeed, many schools have the look and feel of small liberal arts colleges. But beyond academic rigor and extensive and well-maintained buildings and grounds, can or do these institutions truly serve those with academic and creative talent?

Furthermore the environment of a boarding school often teaches them violent and aggressive behavior patterns as the primary means of communication. It brings young people into trouble. Statistics in Ukraine testify that boarding schools inmates make 7,4% of juvenile offenders (both boys and girls) and the number grows by 1,3% per year.

Georgetown, Ct History of Redding Info About the Designer Contact Us History of Redding Schools From Charles Burr Todd's "History of Redding" We have before spoken of the care of our Puritan ancestors to provide for the church and the ministry in their infant settlements. They were equally careful to furnish them with the school and the teacher. If piety was one of the pillars of democracy, so also was intelligence; and church and school were alike deemed indispensable to the growth and security of the state; hence we find the pioneers of Redding making early provision for the establishment of schools among them. The first recorded movement of the parish in the matter was in 1737, when, at a parish meeting held December 26th, 1737, it was voted to have a parish school, and to maintain said school by a parish rate. John Read, Joseph Lee, Joseph Sanford, John Hull, Nathan Lion, Stephen Morehouse, and Daniel Lion were the first school committee.

Most Foreign Service parents still expect their children to live at home until college. This is not always possible, because a number of posts lack adequate high schools and sometimes even junior high or elementary school facilities. In a typical year, approximately 450 Foreign Service children attend 150 boarding schools in the United States and abroad. Because the boarding school option means early separation from parents, it is very important that the child be actively included in the decision-making process. Parents considering assignment to a post with inadequate schooling should consider the following advantages and disadvantages of a boarding school. ADVANTAGES OF A BOARDING SCHOOL EDUCATION The student's self-reliance and independence are bolstered.
