Boarding, Unpacked.

In this episode, we explore the world of boarding at the Dragon, busting some common myths and looking at how much has changed since the experiences many parents remember from the 1970s. We discuss the benefits boarding can bring, from independence and lifelong friendships to unforgettable experiences and plenty of fun. We also explore why getting to know each child as an individual is at the heart of great boarding, and what parents should look for when choosing a boarding school. Above all, we celebrate the care, commitment and passion of the boarding practitioners who make boarding feel like a home from home, helping children feel safe, supported and ready to thrive.
