List of Primary Boarding Schools
For parents who would like to enroll their child into a boarding school environment for their elementary (also known as primary or grammar) school, we have produced a list below. Most boarding schools only offer day school for younger children and don’t allow boarding until 6th, 7th, 8th, or 9th grade depending on the school. So, do your research if you are looking at non-local schools because they may be day-schools only and you won’t be able to get there every day to pickup your child. Let us know if there is a school we have overlooked!
