Why do parents choose primary and secondary schools in Britain for their children?

I think parents understand that such schools will really help the child to open up, find himself and enter the best university.

Young students can study at school both on full-time form and full board, 7 days a week living on campus - the board is available for children from 7 years old. According to preliminary agreement, individual, isolated cases of overnight stays in the school are possible (for example, before the holidays).

With the children there are always teachers and curators of residences (houseparents): they monitor the observance of cleanliness, order and discipline, help students with the solution of a variety of domestic, educational and administrative issues. The staff of the school strives to do everything possible to envelop children with care and warmth: younger schoolchildren are especially needed to calmly survive adaptation and departure from their family.

Children are provided board meals (thrice a day), as well as snacks and traditional tea during the day.

Subject list: Art, design, drama, geography, history, Information Technology, maths, music, Religious studies
