Boarding school can be a life-changing option; however, the decision can be a tough one, particularly if your child has mainstream learning differences like ADHD or Dyslexia. Our Boarding School Event is designed to help you better navigate those choices. This will include:

• A parent panel sharing personal experiences with boarding school choices and outcomes.
• Small group discussions with school  representatives to learn about their unique programs, learning support and summer options.
• Opportunity for 1:1 follow up with schools of your choosing. 

​Please join us to explore the breadth of exciting learning opportunities available for students who learn differently and to gain a better sense of the right fit between your child and the boarding school setting.

​Discussion themes:

• How do I evaluate the trade-off between sending my child away from home and the potential benefit of a better learning environment?  
• Would my child be better off in a mainstream school with learning support or a school specifically for SpLD/ADHD?
• How much individual attention should my child receive?
• What is the right age for sending my child to boarding school...junior or senior boarding?
• What are the benefits of a co-educational or single-sex school?
