Fair to focus on boarding schools

Parents and students will have a chance to learn about international boarding schools in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Jordan at an event to be held in Abu Dhabi next month.

The Boarding School Fair, which is being organised by Linden Educational Services, will take place at the Hilton on May 8.

Schools taking part include the Florida Air Academy, Ross School in New York, Fryeburg Academy, Maine, Verde Valley School, Arizona, Lakefield College School, Ontario, Tasis, London, and the King's Academy in Amman.

"The option of sending children to international boarding schools has become an increasingly popular one for parents in the Middle East," said John Williamson, Linden's Executive Director.
