You should still widen your net.
Start by deciding on what attracts you to the idea of boarding school.
What would your dream school be like? Some things to consider:
- What type of learning style do you think works best for you? What type of learning environments inspire you?
- Teaching philosophy of the schools.
- Boarding policies. For example, some schools have daily room inspections (although more lax during Covid). Some don’t. If you’re going to be living at school, what goes on in the dorms becomes really important.
- Do you plan on going to university in India or US? That should be a consideration when you look at curricula.
