Refer back to your notes, review your original motivations, your student profile, and everything you have learnt along the way. Your understanding and priorities could have changed considerably during the process, so review that decision matrix and weigh things up again if you need to.
Here is some good news about your boarding school applications:
If you’ve carefully followed the SLE to boarding school applications you will get some offers.
As a family, you will hopefully share a top choice and a top back-up.
So your final decision should be easy!
Most boarding school offers ask you to confirm acceptance within 2 to 4 weeks. You’ll need to sign a contract (read it carefully!) and submit a non-refundable confirmation deposit.
Refer back to your notes, review your original motivations, your student profile, and everything you have learnt along the way. Your understanding and priorities could have changed considerably during the process, so review that decision matrix and weigh things up again if you need to.
Finally, if you have not already done so, get out and visit any schools you have offers from. Nothing beats a school visit for giving you a clear idea of what the school is really like, and how well it fits your young person’s aspirations. Ask about our School Visit Guide, and follow your gut.
