When is the best time to go on an immersion programme in a boarding school ?

By wavemind | 22 November 2022

There is no right or wrong time for this experience.

In some cultures, boarding schools have punitive connotations. In reality, they offer a unique experience. And the students who go to this type of school system often do not want to come back home.

Although EDUCOM will adapt to the profile of each child, it is true that the sooner is always the better. The level of English and admission tests required will be more demanding the closer a child is to the final years of their schooling.

It will also depend greatly on how mature your child is. Some children are mature enough to leave abroad around 10-12 years old, while others will not be ready before they are 15.

Regardless of when your child decides to leave, the experience will always be productive in terms of their :

  • Language acquisition
  • Increased maturity
  • Increased self-confidence
  • The strong friendships that are made at a boarding school
