When parents think about boarding schools, they often imagine the social and personal growth students experience, such as gaining independence, making lifelong friends, and building character. However, one of the most important and sometimes overlooked benefits is how boarding can boost academic success. Boarding students benefit from structured routines, consistent access to teachers, and a […]

Comfortable student reading in a cozy, well-decorated bedroom at an international school.
Als ouders aan internaten denken, denken ze vaak aan de sociale en persoonlijke groei die leerlingen doormaken, zoals het verkrijgen van onafhankelijkheid, het maken van levenslange vrienden en het opbouwen van karakter. Maar een van de belangrijkste en soms over het hoofd geziene voordelen is hoe internaten academisch succes kunnen stimuleren.
Leerlingen in het internaat profiteren van gestructureerde routines, consistente toegang tot docenten en een gemeenschap van medeleerlingen die hun doelen delen. Zonder de afleiding van het woon-werkverkeer hebben studenten elke dag meer tijd om zich te concentreren op hun studie, deel te nemen aan verrijkingsactiviteiten en gezonde studiegewoonten op te bouwen. Boarding creëert ook een omgeving waar het leren doorgaat buiten het klaslokaal, door middel van avondactiviteiten, gesprekken met docenten of groepsstudie met vrienden.
We hebben al gekeken naar de vele voordelen die instappen kinderen kan bieden (je kunt het artikel hier). In dit artikel kijken we naar de belangrijkste academische voordelen van het internaatleven, zoals gestructureerde studietijd, ondersteuning van docenten en motivatie van medeleerlingen. Je hoort ook rechtstreeks van experts van topinternaten over de hele wereld, die hun eigen ervaringen en inzichten delen.

Gestructureerde leeromgevingen

Internaten zijn ontworpen om een balans te vinden tussen schoolprestaties en persoonlijk welzijn. Studiezalen, 's avonds voorbereidingstijd en leerruimtes onder toezicht helpen studenten om sterke werkgewoonten op te bouwen. Deze structuur stimuleert consistentie en vermindert uitstelgedrag, wat waardevolle vaardigheden zijn voor examens en het universitaire leven.
Dedicated Study Rooms
Our boarding houses have dedicated study rooms that allow students to spend their spare time putting in extra hours where needed. We respect, and indeed instil, an ethos to work hard… but the House Parents also help the children in their care to strike a good balance of work and play.

Wellbeing as the Foundation for Academic
One of our key objectives, not just with boarders but for all, is to ensure the emotional stability and well-being of the children at Rugby School Thailand. Our boarding House Parents (Prep) and House Deans (Senior) are experts in pastoral care and support children in the best possible way. With emotional stability and well-being comes happiness, and with happiness comes confidence and an ability to focus. And that’s exactly why our motto is ‘the whole person, the whole point’.

Toegang tot leerkrachten buiten de klas

In tegenstelling tot dagscholen hebben internaatsstudenten vaak contact met docenten buiten de reguliere lesuren, zoals tijdens buitenschoolse activiteiten, avondprogramma's of informele gesprekken. Deze extra tijd helpt leerlingen om sterke mentorbanden op te bouwen, vrijer vragen te stellen en begeleiding te krijgen die hun academische groei ondersteunt.
Closer Connections with Teachers
Our after school boarding activities are run by teachers and tutors, meaning the children who board with us have more exposure to these academic guides. This allows them to ask questions in their free time and build an even stronger rapport with their teachers, which benefits their classroom work.

Motivatie van collega's en academische cultuur

Een belangrijk academisch voordeel van internaten is de motivatie die leerlingen van elkaar krijgen. Samenwonen met leeftijdsgenoten die dezelfde doelen hebben, creëert een ondersteunende omgeving. Studenten werken samen tijdens studiesessies en leren ook een balans te vinden tussen werk en plezier, waardoor ze gewoontes opbouwen die hen helpen op de universiteit en daarna.
Academic Activities Beyond the Classroom
Our boarders have evening activities that (particularly in Senior School) are rooted in academics. For example, in the Prep School there may be an engaging maths challenge or quiz of an evening; whereas in Senior School they can select whether to do an activity or dedicate time to study, as we encourage more independence in their choices.

Peer Support and a Strong Learning Ethos
There’s an exemplary collective ethos towards work amongst our boarders. They all seem to understand what makes a good balance of study and time off, and this can fluctuate according to the time of year, for example when exams are happening. The boarders can just as easily encourage each other to learn, as they can celebrate free time and enjoy playing games with each other, talking, or reading novels.

Scholen die praktijkervaring hebben met dit onderwerp delen hun perspectief.
More Time to Learn, Less Time Commuting
Many of our boarders come from Bangkok or busy cities in neighbouring countries, where they’ve swapped slow city traffic for a short walk through school grounds. This gives our boarders more time in their day to focus on the things that matter most, such as study, music practice, and exercise.
