boarding schools
Residential educational institutions
Boarding schools are educational institutions where students live on campus during the academic term rather than commuting from home.
They provide housing, meals, and supervision alongside instruction.
The term often connotes elite private preparatory schools, though boarding schools serve various purposes—from military academies to schools for students in remote areas.
