BOYS ONLY BOARDING SCHOOLS

A unique opportunity to be yourself

At a boys only boarding school, you'll have a unique opportunity to learn in an environment free from the distraction of the opposite gender. Boys only boarding schools allow you to take risks and to learn in unique ways. An environment free of some typical teen pressures liberates you to learn things you might not otherwise think you're interested in.

"We're often so caught up in trying to be the leader in various aspects of school life, we don't realize we're all leading. This feeling also helps us grow closer together as a family, because that's what boarding school is like. For six days a week: two fathers, 63 brothers and nine months of good times. "

Other benefits of boys' boarding schools

While the idea of a boys only environment might make you leery, there are some important advantages you should consider. Think about the following:

In a boys only boarding environment, you'll open yourself up to participating in activities and learn about things you might not otherwise think of, in an environment unaffected by girls.
Studies show that there is less bullying in a single sex environment. One survey of public coed school students showed 45% reported being bullied, while 37% of independent school students in a single gender environment reported bullying.
You'll simply avoid the temptation of trouble with the opposite sex and be able to focus on academic and athletic success.
Boys learn differently from girls and in a boys only boarding school you'll be able to develop a unique rapport with instructors and fellow boys.

"At first I was skeptical about the fact there was no interaction with girls, but I found it easier to concentrate in class and express my ideas. And the competitive atmosphere of having all guys you play on the field with, and are in the classroom with — it's motivating to be around."

– Tim, boys school grad.
