Boarding Schools' Association

6 days ago

It's #InternationalBoardingWeek! 🎉

From different countries, cultures and backgrounds, boarding brings people together.

Pick a day between 10-16 October and join us, alongside sister association British Association of Independent Schools with International Students (BAISIS) to celebrate our global boarding communities!

Whether you decide to organise an activity, share stories from your boarding community or simply take a moment to celebrate what makes your school special, we'd love to hear from you.
