Boarding school

Ladies,

The boarding school has declined us and said that their classes for grade 4 in 2014 is full, that was last friday when i got the confirmation.

Then I went to Curro, we waiting for them to comfirm placement for 2014 or be on the waiting list for the following year. Keeping my thumbs up and so hoping for good news.

Hi Ladies,

That is wonderful news Yolanda.
I agree with you Hopeful, will see how it goes i guess.
When i told my son he will be attending boarding school, he didnt show any emotion about it, he just asked if he will be cooked nice food and whether there is time to watch tv.

Hi there,

I had to start going to Boarding school when I started grade 10 due to various reasons ( so I was 15 at the time ) I loved every second of boarding school. I was also in a all girls school which I also really loved ( before that in primary school and grade 8 and 9 I was in a co-ed school ). I truly flourished in boarding school as I am such a social person I just loved having all my friends down the hall from me. Ofcourse I felt homesick from time to time and I remember once after I had just started going crying to mom that I want to come home. She stood firm and said I need to give it another few months and once I settled in every thing changed I am very happy that my mom did not take my out when I asked and new that it was just that I have missing home a bit

My younger sister that is more an introvert did not cope well in boarding school and was very unhappy and homesick. My parents later then decided to take her out. I was given the option to do so but dint even consider it for a moment.

I really think it depends on your child. I do not think there is a right or wrong choice here I think it is what is best for you and your child. There where many girls in boarding school with me that did not like it and there where loads that like me loved it. It really depends on your child.

Also please do keep in mind I went to boarding school as a teenager and I am sure the experience for both parent and child is very different if they are younger.

I hope that this helps

Yolanda I am very happy every thing turned out so great for you!!!

That's great yolanda! Glad it all worked out.

I'm working through a lady that previously had the private school. she now do the home schooling.
You can contact impak and register with them. they send the complete package.
you can do the home schooling yourself but I don't have the time.
Think the packages range from R4000+ per year depending on which grade you choose.

I have the contact details for western cape impak if you want it

That is great news.

Tell us more about the home schooling, that is something that i would love for my daughter.

Hey girls,

I posted this a while ago and completely forgot about it.

Just want to update....
Things turned out way better. we got her in a private school/home schooling place.
cheaper than private school because the work through impak home schooling.
