Boarding, day, and the in-between
Some children bloom down a corridor of trunks and cocoa. Some need their own bedroom and the dog. Both are allowed. The commute is also a kind of boarding.
CitiesLondon
Several childhoods share a Tube map: Abbey and Barnes, Brook Green, two Dulwich gates, Highgate, and two internationals with opposite visa sentences. Walk climates, not a league table.
CitiesEdinburgh
Two Edinburgh climates: a full-boarding campus that still takes day pupils, and a large day house on Colinton Road that sits Highers. Ask which weekend you are buying.
CitiesDublin
Southside day houses and a boarding option in the hills. Ask how Irish the yard is, even when the classroom is English.
