I know that the two are complete opposites and if you home educate then boarding school might seem horrific to you, but please read the circumstances and keep an open mind!
DH and I live very, very rurally. We have a few neighbours, but there are only two other families with children and all the children are at least twelve years older than ours. We have two DC aged 4 and 2.
The nearest school is a 90 minute car trip away and in poor weather it can be up to two hours. It is not really meant to service our area and so there is no bus/shuttle etc.
We are thinking of home educating the children and then sending them to boarding school (either each one as they turn 8, send them at 8 and 10, or send them as they turn 11).
Does anyone have any experience with this? Is it feasible? Does anyone have any advice?
Even if you didn't do what we're thinking of, any relevant comments or ideas that we haven't thought of would be gratefully received!
