Boarding research
The King's School is currently engaging in world-first, international research with the University of Sydney and the Australian Boarding Schools Association to examine the effects of boarding on academic and non-academic outcomes.
This project includes another 15 schools from across Australia and five schools from the United Kingdom.
Key areas of investigation include motivation, engagement, achievement, academic resilience, satisfaction with life and self-concept. This is a unique study that is being conducted over two years with over 5,000 day and boarding students sample Australia wide. The study will yield useful information about the experience of both day students and boarders while they are at the School.
