The Rise of Day Boarding Schools

A lot of people only know, the two main types of schooling methods that are boarding school and day school. But there is another type of schooling that is slowly emerging, and that is of day boarding school. Now one might ask what is the difference between a day school and a day boarding school and the answer to that is, that in day school,  students usually stay at the school from morning to afternoon, in well, the daytime only. But in a day boarding school, students usually stay at the school for longer hours, perhaps till evening, and sometimes even have meals at the school only.

Now, if one went out to search for the best school in Noida, Delhi or any other region, they would probably find many. But finding a day boarding school is a slight bit harder find. Day boarding schools, incorporate the best parts of both boarding and day school, and allow a child to get the best of both worlds.

Although they might be hard to find in Delhi itself, one can find a day boarding school in Delhi NCR region. And this type of school is actually something that a lot of parents these days are looking for. The reason for this being, that a lot of the families these days are nuclear families, and even in that, in today's modern times, both the parents are working, leaving very little time to their kids and loads of opportunity for them to get in with the bad crowds.

A day boarding school would ensure that the child is within the supervision of the trained staff and teachers and also able to do many other activities that one would not be able to do in the regular school times. Like extra-curricular and sports activities

The benefits of effective listening

Everyone has so much to say. We miss out on so many little details because we are busy in speaking and we barely listen. Listening is an art and there are certain benefits that listening provides you with. It is difficult to be patient and listen to what the other person says, but it has its own set of benefits. I went to one of the reputed residential schools in India as a child and I remember having special meditation classes wherein we were taught the art of effective listening. Also, we were told about the benefits that one gains from it. Here are some of them, which I have experienced in my own life:

Pleasing personality
Everyone likes a person who listens! Yes, it is true. If you are always eager to talk, lesser people show interest in you. Listen to people as it makes you a person you everybody wants to talk to! Not only people trust you more, they find a friend in you. I have been complimented many a times by the closest of my friends that I listen to them with full intent.

Observation skills
If you listen to someone with concentration, you get to observe that person closely. The more you observe you get to know that person better. This helps you in getting an idea as to who is how if you are in a new environment and behave accordingly with people. This is a big benefit and once you are in the corporate world, you will make use of it!

Better memory & understanding
You would not forget the little details that someone talks about. You have vivid memory and better understanding. This is extremely useful for students. If they listen to the lessons in class, half of their work is done! The more closely you listen, the better you understand and remember! My school, one of the best boarding schools in India has inculcated in me the art of being a good listener, and I am reaping the benefits till date!

An All Round Development for Kids

In this progressive environment where parents are working, every parent worries about the ethical and moral values that their children need to ingrain in their psyche to grow up as a human being. So in order to make their children more perceptive for the future competition and to make them more imaginative, the parents are gearing up by opting for unconventional courses.

Various courses in dance, photography and designing etc. are introduced in several schools in Noida and are proving to be popular among the parents. Stressing on the level of competition the children have to face to even get into higher studies, every one of them need to get prepared. The schools are strapping up the kids by underlining their need to be an all-rounder. State of the art studios are being introduced and more interactive methods of teaching are being thought of. Making presentations and audio-visual study books are proving to be propitious for the children.

To make the children more amenable the parents are ready to shift all over the country, the need to put the child over their comfort is taking the front seat. Over the years various child day schools in Noida being set up and a shift can be seen among the worried parents. These schools offer more attention to the students as the number of students in one class is limited. Other than that, huge infrastructures and unconventional subjects seem to be working in the favor of these schools. The education not just limited to the traditional math-science dialects, rather a well round and sound development is being stressed upon. Gender neutrality is being offered in schools too which is imperative for sound adulthood, no gender specified course are practiced which is another relief for the parents.
