Boarding schools are often described as home-away-from-home because they provide

similar environment and value-system that a child gets from his or her house.

Making decision for children to join a boarding school is an important subject for

parents. Before deciding the same, a parent has to evaluate a boarding school on a

number of parameters.

In this monograph, we have evaluated the top board schools in India on a number of

parameters crucial from a parent’s perspective. Further, an in-depth analysis has been

done based on Profile of the School Principal Individual Attention to Students, Academic

Results including University Placements, International Tie-Ups and Hostel Facilities.

We have analyzed some of the country’s most well-known traditional boarding schools

such as Mayo College Ajmer, Rishi Valley School Chitoor, The Scindia School Gwalior.

The facilities these schools provide are testimony to the importance they accord to

various aspects of a holistic boarding education.
