BOARDING SCHOOL IN ALICANTE

WELCOME FROM THE HEAD OF BOARDING

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Boarding at The Lady Elizabeth School and am excited to have the opportunity of getting to know you all individually. During your time as a boarder you will be encouraged to work hard at your studies while learning to maintain a balance between work and leisure. The house will have many students from differing cultures and backgrounds; make the most of this opportunity to share experiences and learn about others. The friends you make here can last a lifetime and can open many doors for you in the future. As young adults, you will not only be encouraged to take personal responsibility for your studies, but you will also learn how to become more independent by learning many life skills.

There will always be someone on hand in the Boarding house to offer assistance, guidance, encouragement, and, of course, a listening ear to help you settle in and grow throughout your time here. I hope you will take every opportunity to become an established and valued member of the boarding community. There will be ample opportunity for your personal development, not just within academia, but also in your leisure and free time, with opportunities to go on trips and excursions at weekends as well as social events and competitions in the Boarding House. Finally, I hope that when it is time to leave us, you will take with you very happy, long-lasting memories of some of your happiest times at school, as well as the friendships you make during your time at The Colegio Benitachell and boarding community.

For further information, please download a copy of our September Timetable and Menu for boarders and a copy of the Pupil and Parent Handbook, and don´t hesitate to contact our Head of Admissions & Marketing, Mrs. Isabel Calatayud, who will be pleased to help you.

Warmly,

Susan Basham-Gamble

BOARDING TESTIMONIALS

‘Boarding is very different in Spain to the UK. It is more like a house environment and kind of like a family home. Everyone knows each other and feels very comfortable with each other’.

CATRIONA W

‘We meet a lot of new people from different countries and we get to know their cultures and interests. Also boarding in Spain we have a lot of good weather, a lot of sunshine and after school there are a lot of things to do, for example you can sunbathe, swim or go to the beach and I really like this place. After a busy day at school we can just relax in the garden’. For me the most favourite time has been ‘funny moments’ as we have a lot of them and I will remember them for the whole of my life and they will be stories I will tell to my children. I think it is good to have girls and boys together because we each learn something from one another. We went to Barcelona on the School Business Studies trip and visited theatres and museums and so on, but we also visited a wine making factory which was very interesting because it was really connected with business. On that excursion I found out why I was there which helped me a lot in my business studies. We also went to the Model United Nations for three days and were able to meet other students from all over the world. We practiced our language skills, we practised our debating skills and all this is going to be really positive for us when we go to University’.

‘Boarding is about making really good friends. It is also about studying a lot of subjects and having a lot of fun after school. My favourite time was moving from my home in Ukraine to the boarding house as I was out of my comfort zone, which was a completely new experience for me, but it was a really exciting moment.

Hello my name is Olivia,

I am in year 12, and this is my first year in Laude Lady Elizabeth in boarding house.

I think the boarding house is a very nice place to live, because there are a lot of different people with individual personalities. I found a lot of friends in boarding, which made my life in boarding much happier, and more cheerful. House parents are very loving, supportive, and caring about every single child in boarding. If anything happens, they are always there to help us. The food is very tasty and balanced. Every day we are having different dishes and amazing desserts. The place where is our boarding located is quiet and peaceful. So when you wake up in the morning you can hear the wind blowing behind the window. Boarding provides for us a lot of options in which trips we can go on. Every weekend and Friday we allowed to go out to spend our free time outside the boarding. It is nice because we can go out to the beach or sit in a cafe. Also school provides mini bus for us to the place which is called The Arenal. Twice a week people can go the gym to do sport, and once a week mini bus always taking us to the supermarket. It is useful, because we can save some money instead of paying for taxis.

I experienced a lot of positive, emotional time in boarding, and I hope my final year will be as amazing as this.

I have been in boarding at LES for about 18 months. I left Hong Kong because I had visited Spain and really liked it and wanted to see what it would be like to live there.
