Excerpts from the article
Neeta Bali, Principal, G D Goenka World School, believes every student must get exposure in a boarding school as it stands them in good stead in the future. The independence it inculcates and the support the wards receive in terms of academic work is a big advantage with boarding schools, she tell Elets News Network.
Who needs a residential school the most?
The students whose parents are in corporate or other transferable jobs. Alternatively, some parents make a conscious choice to send the children to boarding schools to inculcate a sense of independence in them.
How does the boarding school enhance students’ performance?
As a boarding school, it is our onus and responsibility to enhance the performance of our boarders, who are completely under our care. Special academic support is arranged with our own trained and qualified staff every day for two hours and intensive academic re-reinforcement happens under the supervision of the Principal, academic co-ordinater, boarding and pastoral staff.
