A boarding school is a school where some or all pupils study and live during the school year with their fellow students and possibly teachers or administrators. The word 'boarding' is used in the sense of "bed and board," that is, food and lodging. Some boarding schools also have day students who are students that live off-campus with their families.
Many independent (private) schools in the Commonwealth of Nations are boarding schools. Boarding school pupils (a.k.a. "boarders") normally return home during the school holidays and, often, weekends, but in some cultures may spend the majority of their childhood and adolescent life away from their families. In the United States, boarding schools comprise various grades, most commonly 7 through 12 or 9 through 12, the high school years. Some also feature military training, though this is generally offered only at specialized schools. Some American boarding schools offer a post-graduate year of study in order to help students prepare for college entrance, most commonly used by foreign students to assimilate to American culture and academics before college.

Boarding school description
Typical boarding school characteristics
The term boarding school often refers to classic British boarding schools and many boarding schools around the world are modeled on these.[1]
A typical modern fee-charging boarding school has several separate residential houses, either within the school grounds or in the surrounding area. Pupils generally need permission to go outside defined school bounds; they may be allowed to travel off-campus at certain times.
