I asked them to think about when they had been the age of their children, and to think about any occasion when they\u2019d learned something especially important or memorable.\u00a0<\/p><p>I said that if that had taken place in a classroom, they should sit down.\u00a0 Then I said that if it taken place indoors, they should sit down.\u00a0 Then I asked them to open their eyes.\u00a0 To their surprise almost three-quarters of them were still standing up!<\/p><p>So, despite all the time spent indoors in classrooms, their most memorable and important lessons were learned elsewhere.\u00a0 My point was not to downplay the importance of classrooms and lessons, but to emphasise that it would be foolish to ignore the powerful opportunities for learning that they had all just demonstrated existed elsewhere too.<\/p><p>And that\u2019s the remarkable combination that British boarding schools have known for so long and becomes so remarkably good at exploiting.\u00a0 Their classroom lessons are undoubtedly excellent.\u00a0 The teachers are well-trained, the lessons interesting and enjoyable, the rapport between teachers and students both friendly and strong.\u00a0 The learning is purposeful and effective.\u00a0 But on top of all that, alongside it, and working with it, is the knowledge of how powerful the learning can be in all the hours outside class.\u00a0<\/p><p>Performing in the school play is not just fun, it is developing presentation skills and confidence, and improving memory; captaining the school team is not just fun, it\u2019s developing leadership skills and understanding systems and people; playing in the orchestra is not just fun, it\u2019s learning teamwork and absorbing the mathematical patterns of music.<\/p><p>It\u2019s all learning without knowing you\u2019re learning and all the while you\u2019re enjoying it too.\u00a0 Add to that the personal and social skills that are encouraged and developed in the 24\/7 experience that boarding represents, and it\u2019s no surprise that people who\u2019ve had the boarding school advantage so often go on to make such a difference in their lives and careers.<\/p><blockquote><p>\u00a0ESBA scholarships are
