WASNJ | How Boarding Becomes a Form of Education
As the sister school of Wycombe Abbey School, one of the top private boarding schools in the UK, Wycombe Abbey Nanjing has adhered to a strong boarding spirit and a tradition of outstanding boarding education since its establishment.
However, the concept of boarding schools is relatively unfamiliar in China. The “boarding” promoted by Wycombe Abbey School is not the typical “boarding” understood by many, namely as a solution to accommodate meals and commuting, nor is it an optional add-on that exists separately from academics. Quite the opposite, due to the high overlap between the boarding and teaching teams, the rich and structured activities, and the teachers’ wholehearted commitment and selfless dedication, our “boarding” becomes a crucial part of holistic education. The core aim is not simply to address lodging and meals but to support student’s personal growth and development.
