Accommodation method

Boarding and day study at international schools in Thailand are two distinct learning methods. The main difference lies first in the accommodation method.

 Boarding students live in boarding dormitories on campus or nearby, while day students live in families near the school or in their own homes.

Boarding students have access to the school's learning resources and facilities, such as libraries, laboratories and sports fields, 

throughout the day, while day students can only use the school's resources during class hours.

Social life

Secondly, the social lives of students in the two ways are also different. Boarding students live with their classmates and can interact, 

communicate and build deep friendships with them more frequently, while day students have relatively smaller social circles, mainly limited to class time and on-campus activities.

Academic pressure

In terms of academic pressure, boarding students have more study time and supervision at school, allowing them to focus more on completing 

homework and preparing for exams. In contrast, day students need to manage their time by themselves and may face more academic pressure.

 One particularly important point is that boarding students live far from home, and their parents usually cannot visit the school frequently 

or participate in school activities, while the parents of day students have more opportunities to communicate with and participate in the school

School activities.

Independence

Boarding students live independently within the school and need to take care of their daily lives and make decisions by themselves,

 which helps them develop independence and self-management skills. In contrast, day students live at home and may rely on their parents' care and decision-making.

Industry suggestions

In fact, when choosing between boarding and day school, the first thing to consider is whether the parents have the conditions to accompany them. 

If the parents' job nature is not relatively flexible and they do not support long-term accompaniment, then boarding is the only option we have.

As a seasoned study abroad agency, we can responsibly share with you that in fact, international schools are more willing to accept boarding students. 

The admission requirements for boarding students are also relatively more friendly. It's not that the school wants to charge you more for boarding, 

but for boarding students, the school will have more energy to focus on these students. After class, teachers can also have conversations 

with these children in English to help them practice English. This is also the reason why boarding students make faster progress in English.

Summary

To sum up, boarding and day school in international schools in Thailand offer different learning methods and living experiences.

Boarding students can enjoy more school resources and social opportunities, but they also need to face more academic pressure and the

 challenges of independent living. Day students can study in a home environment and are closer 

to their parents more easily, but they may miss some opportunities and experiences within the school.

Which way to ultimately choose depends on the personal preferences and needs of students and parents regarding study and life.
