In Europe in the early middle ages practiced sending boys to the training of competent clergymen in monasteries or pages in a wealthy family. The first monastery boarding school is considered to be The King's School in Canterbury, founded in 597 year. Among the schools represented on our website, the oldest is The King's School Ely, courtyard with a Grand medieval Cathedral, Or in 973 it prepared the choristers of the Cathedral for the service, giving the best education that you could get in the UK. In the XII century the Pope has shown all the monasteries of the Benedictines, which was, for example, Westminster, to give free education. Secular schools arose when there is a paid students. They were created on the model of the collegiate universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
Private education at home until the seventeenth century remained the norm for aristocratic families, especially for girls, but in the future more and more widespread views that young people should be educated collectively. Thus, throughout its thousand years of development of the concept of education has adapted to changing social conditions.
Classic British boarding school became very popular in the heyday of the British colonial Empire. Going into administration in the colony, the fathers could be confident that their children are brought up surrounded by British culture at home. For foreign dignitaries, the British government provided the opportunity to give their children a British education with the expectation that children will absorb British values and become supporters of the colonial regime.
An important reason why the family sends the children to boarding school, especially if it is studied by many generations of the family, is the ability to expand the horizons of the child, to instill in him a certain culture, common to this family of the clan. Others wish to give the child a higher education than they received themselves, to give the child the opportunity to join the culture of high society.
Today in the UK there are over 800 private boarding schools, with an enrollment of over 100,000 children.
