Only available Oct 3-24th. Don't miss out.
The TABS study, as it is known, was released in June 2004 and surveyed more than 2,700 high school students and adults from boarding schools, private day schools and public schools. Most of the institutions were American, although several Canadian schools participated, including Ridley College in St. Catherines and Bishop Strachan in Toronto, Ontario, which are mentioned in the article on pages 30-32.
The American figures may not be entirely relevant to the Canadian experience, but the study tackles head-on a number of the myths that still cling to boarding. For example:
But it’s in results where the boarding schools seem to score: 91 per cent of boarding school students report their schools are academically challenging.
Boarders spend an average of 17 hours a week on homework, 12 hours weekly on sports or exercise and only three hours watching TV.
The boarding advantage also shows up in chances for showing leadership at school: 77 percent for boarding. Perhaps most crucial, 87 percent of boarders judge they were well prepared academically for university.
The payoff: By late career, 52 percent of former boarders have achieved top management positions. In addition, former boarders reported giving significant time to philanthropic and political activities.
