Life in a Residential School


Residential School

A residential school is a school with all home facilities; Some call it Home schools; others call it Hostel while others call it Boarding School.

The Canadian Government established first-time residential schools that were administered by Churches.


When parents send their child to the residential school, the child thinks that their parents don't love him/her anymore. They even believed that a Residential school is a place that is meant for separating them from their parents. But this is not true at all. Parents want their children to be perfect in every field. This is possible only when the child finds more things to explore, and the only place where students have a better scope of the study, which is a residential school only. Parents prefer admission consultants to obtain information regarding residential schools.


Not even a single parent wants their child to live in a hostel instead of their own home. But there are some factors which force the parents to do so. But it is for the betterment of their child and not for their punishment.


Residential school plays a vital role in a child's life for their development, independence, confidence, and whatnot.
