Boarding Life
TASIS England offers a boarding program where students (age 13 to 18) gain independence, responsibility, respect, and resilience through the development of life-long relationships and shared experiences.
Almost half of our Upper School students as well as some of our eighth grade students live on campus in boarding houses supervised by a dynamic TASIS boarding team who are committed to making the residential experience safe, friendly, warm, and caring.
Students form life-long friendships as they live and work together and participate in the wide range of weekend activities available. Rooms are typically shared between two or three students, each with a different mother tongue to encourage the use of English and to share and celebrate our diversity within a global community. All meals are provided, and the on-campus health Center ensures that nursing care is available if required.
Boarding Schools' Association COVID-SAFE
The BSA COVID-SAFE charter has been produced for Boarding Schools' Association member schools to provide assurance to parents and agents. Member schools that adopt this have to confirm they will comply with all government rules and guidance, and that they will automatically meet requirements laid out by the BSA prior to reopening and once open, including a number of specific measures for international students. Adopting this is another way TASIS can reassure and give confidence to international students, parents and agents that the School is taking its responsibilities very seriously and that boarding is a safe environment to which students can return.
Boarding prepares you for the unexpected. You get an idea of how to handle difficult situations without help from your parents or family. You learn how to make decisions for yourself."
