In order to invite more students from the international scene many boarding schools in the US and other countries in Europe are also holding this annual International Boarding School Award. The primary aim of which is to encourage more students from other countries of the world to try boarding schools and see for themselves what is in store for them in this type of learning institutions.

Many schools who’ve been doing this annual recognition of the best boarders said it’s very effective as a number of students from other countries who came to the US are also increasing every year. In fact for last year many of these students receive their awards as international boarders of the year.

The boy has been playing in school and out of school chess events to the highest level. He also has exceptional talent in Rugby, Fencing and Organ playing game which made him most unique than other boys.
