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.
