When there is a desire to become a graduate of a prestigious university, studying in Canterbury is a right way to help achieve the goal. There are 3 types of private boarding schools:
The attention of parents is attracted to the so-called diamond schools. The Diamond School is a combination of educational institutions - King's School Canterbury. Until 11 years old, children study here together, from 11 to 16 years old - separately, and then together. Such an unusual approach is justified by child age psychology and has already repeatedly confirmed its effectiveness. It is believed that in the period from 11 to 16 years, children can feel vulnerable in the presence of the opposite sex, and separate lessons relieve this tension: boys and girls do not need to compete with each other or be embarrassed during answers and speeches in front of other students. Moreover, all extracurricular activities are still common, there are no restrictions for communicating with peers in an informal setting.
Until the age of 16, the initial character formation is completed and it is much easier for boarding school students to focus on educational material despite the presence of the opposite sex. In addition, in the upper grades, narrower specialized education and preparation for entering a university are activated, and it implies an internal willingness to go into adulthood, the ability to build communication with people of different spirits.
Boarding schools with international status, which provide studying in Canterbury for schoolchildren, teenagers and students from around the world, are regularly tested by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) commission. It evaluates the academic successes of children, living and parenting conditions, work with parents, the quality of teaching and leadership of educational institutions. Some private, private educational institutions, such as Kent College Canterbury, are members of the International English-speaking Association of Directors and Directors of The Headmasters 'and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC). Such strict control over the internal work of the boarding houses, as well as the fact that the colleges of the town have repeatedly been included in the top 20 according to the results of IB Diploma exams by graduates (according to the version of The Sunday Times), indicates the highest level of local school training.
Elite educational institutions open their doors to foreign students over 14 years in full board format: accommodation on campus plus 3 meals a day. Starting from the age of 16, we are already talking about preparing for joining universities: specialized subjects are selected, the number of hours devoted to their study is increasing. The cost of an annual course varies from $ 30,000 to $ 40,000. It is important that this price already includes:

All programs are designed in such a way that students can get in touch with English culture, visit attractions and make new acquaintances. If you want to improve your linguistic skills while staying in this ancient town, you need to choose 1 of 4 areas:

Most often, residence and full board can be offered by children's language camps, in other cases you need to live in apartments or with the host family (while language course coordinators can help you choose a temporary accommodation for students). Accommodation in such cases will be paid separately.
