A PG year at a boarding school can be beneficial for many students. The student may mature and become more independent with a safety net that is not usually available in college. This year should be viewed as a gift to the student. It may help internalize organizational and study skills. Dorm living at a boarding school gives the student an opportunity to live away from home, but with some structure to get ready for unstructured college dorm life.
The PG year often offers new and different class options. The student might take some enriching AP classes, improve skills in an area of difficulty, and try a new elective in the arts or an interesting seminar class. Boarding school classes are much smaller than most public school classes and some independent school classes and give the student a chance for more participation and to form deeper relationships with the faculty.
There are chances to try new sports or activities or enhance skills in an existing interest or talent. There are usually opportunities for leadership.
The college counselor will tailor the college admission process to fit the PG student’s need. The student often gains a better understanding of what he/she wants to study and a better understanding of the best college fit for him/her.
There are many boarding schools offering PG years. They have different requirements, programs and levels of challenge. Some boarding schools take a small number of PG students while others have a special program for a larger group of students. Enrolling in the right PG program can be a life changing experience.
