Weekly boarding is a type of boarding package in boarding schools. The packages which parents or students can choose from may range from weekly, monthly, quarterly and even yearly package. Weekly boarding means enrolled students stay at the boarding during school hours, usually from Mondays thru Fridays. In some boarding schools students can stay until Thursday, depending on the boarding school you choose.

Since it’s easy to go home when you’re still near the weekly boarding school - transportation expenses would not be a problem. Some other weekly boarding schools allow the children to stay until Saturday, or allow them to return on Sunday. This also depends on the school, and the decision taken by the parents and/or the children.
