Description
I went to boarding school at a time when I probably needed structure more than I wanted to admit. What made my school different was how much independence it quietly forced on you. No one. . .
The size is what made Albert College different from other schools. Everyone knew everyone, which created this tight community feel. I was there from 2020 to 2024 as a day scholar but lived in homestay. . .
Albert College gave me structure at a point when I needed it. The school is small, and that shaped my experience. Teachers paid attention to how I worked, where I stalled, and where I improved. . .
