Why many parents choose boarding schools
Many parents fear the social stigma or judgments that will be placed on them if they send their teen to “boarding school”. The old stereotype of parents that sent their children to boarding schools was that the parents were mean or didn’t care for their children. However, in the majority of circumstances, this is not the case at all. Parents realize that they need additional help in parenting their troubled teen. They realize that their teen needs additional structure, therapy, and discipline, that they are unable to provide. They are making a responsible choice in realizing their teen needs help, and they love them enough to help them get treatment.
There are many different types of boarding schools. Some of the different kinds of schools are:
- Military
- All Girl
- All Boy
- Therapeutic
- Christian
Boarding schools are often a good choice for troubled teens who have not been able to succeed in less-restrictive treatment.
