What it’s really like to board at school in the UAE

Boarding school in Dubai? It might sound unexpected, but for a growing number of families, it’s becoming a modern solution to an age-old question: How do we raise independent, well-rounded kids? This episode, we explore what boarding looks like in 2025 with Rich Myers, Head of Boys’ Boarding at Repton Dubai, and Year 10 student Teymur Aghazada, who gives us a glimpse into daily life on campus.  Plus, Dr. Shefali Verma returns to help us ask: Are we putting too much pressure on young athletes, and how can we balance achievement with mental wellbeing?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
