We traveled by bus two hours out into the farming country to a boarding school for 6-7-8th graders. The students had left for their winter break, but some high school students were there having a camp. One unique thing about this school is that the kids live there and see their parents about 3 times a year for a month break.
The school has it's own farm, they grow many vegtables, and have chickens running loose around the school grounds, as well as two ponds where they raise fish. The food the school does not need for students is sold to others. I think this is a great idea.
The sleeping arrangements are interesting a 3-tiered bunk bed room that sleeps a total of 48 boys or girls (depending on which dorm it is)in one large room. No closets, just a small cubie about the size of 18x18inches for all their personal belongings. Do you think this would be a good way to get your education? What if your family had almost nothing to provide a good life for you, would this be a good solution for education?
