Selecting the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make, and choosing a boarding school adds another layer of complexity. In many ways, the tradition of full boarding for boys has been a cornerstone of British education, valued for its ability to foster independence and personal growth. While the world adapts and educational models evolve, this distinct approach to boys’ boarding remains as popular as ever. But why is that?
We warmly invite you to an engaging and informative webinar hosted by Mr. William Bartley, House Master of Nitobe House. During this session, Mr. Bartley will delve into the many benefits of a full boarding education, with a particular focus on how this environment supports the academic, personal, and social development of young children.
With a diverse community of over 300 students from 27 countries, Harrow International School Appi Japan offers a truly global environment enriched by local Japanese culture. Here, students not only build character, resilience, and independence but also forge lifelong friendships.
Learn how Harrow Appi’s boarding school experience can nurture your child’s independence while offering a holistic, world-class education to a high standard. We look forward to providing you with valuable insights, answering your questions, and helping you discover the transformative opportunities boarding school can offer.
