Education at British boarding schools


British Boarding Schools

 

At British schools individuality is of the utmost importance and the development of citizenship and social skills is considered just as important as academic achievement. Each pupil is recognized and respected as an individual.

 

Promoting talents

 

Every pupil receives individual attention, care and recognition at British boarding schools. Each pupil has a personal tutor who is responsible for monitoring their academic and pastoral well-being. This individual support is well structured: there is time for learning, sport and leisure.

 

Beyond the Classroom

 

The British system places great emphasis on non-academic activities: in the mornings there are lessons; in the afternoons, sport, music, drama and an enormous array of other activities are offered. Your child can make a choice from a large selection of activities.


 


 

 

Pleasure in Learning

 

Small classes of 10 to 12 pupils are commonplace at British boarding schools – unlike in German schools where there can be up to 30 pupils in a classroom.

 

Improving Education

 

Pupils coming from the Realschule can come to the U.K. after 10th Grade and finish three years later with three or four A-Levels. These are academically rigorous and are internationally recognized qualifications for University entrance.

 

Hauptschule pupils can finish their Realschulabschluss after 8th Grade.
