You spent time researching your luxury yacht, and you certainly didn’t stumble all willy nilly into purchasing your dream home.

This list was compiled by comparing international school rankings offered by reputable educational sites. We analyzed each ranking to identify the absolute best boarding schools in the world.

Additionally, ISCAT has been accredited by UNICEF as a Rights Respecting School, where the articles of the Declaration of Rights of the Child underpin the school’s overall approach. ISCAT is also one of the more affordable boarding schools in Europe to make our list.

Conclusion

Choosing your child’s school is a big decision, and we understand that it can be daunting. Don’t be afraid to shop around and really dig into what the schools offer in terms of academics and other life-building experiences. The right school can make all the difference in helping your child grow into a confident young person who is unafraid of taking on challenges.

We would recommend one piece of advice: don’t choose a school for your child, instead choose a school with him or her. Your child’s excitement (or lack thereof) should play a part in your decision. Your child is much more likely to embrace their education if they had a say in the choosing of their school.

 Here’s a recap of the 15 best boarding schools in the world:

结论
选择你孩子的学校是一个重大的决定，我们理解这可能是令人生畏的。不要害怕货比三家，真正深入了解学校在学术和其他生活建设方面提供的内容。正确的学校可以帮助你的孩子成长为一个自信的年轻人，不惧怕挑战，这一点是完全不同的。

我们建议一个建议：不要为你的孩子选择学校，而是与他或她一起选择学校。你的孩子的兴奋点（或缺乏兴奋点）应该在你的决定中起到一定的作用。如果你的孩子在选择学校时有发言权，他们就更有可能接受他们的教育。
