Bethel Alternative Boarding School

Cory and I have decided to become dorm parents. This was an idea we had when we first got to Bethel, but until recently did not believe it fourth was for us. Now we both feel strongly that we are supposed to be dorm parents. We went to the school/house last week to check it out. It is a three story house with an extra "crow's nest" floor reading area (you have to climb ladder like stairs to get up to the nook). I can't wait to take pictures. There are 5 girls that live in the house with us, we are literally acting in place of their parents. These girls are from the villages outside Bethel. The girls families range from a 15 mintute to 2 hour flight from the school. They come to Bethel Alternative Boarding School to get a higher education. The school is connected to the house, which is nice, they can sleep in a bit. We will hopefully be moved out of our current apartment and situated in our new place by the end of the week. We are excited to get to know the girls and help them anyway we can.

Pictures of the new house and hopefully the girls will be up soon!

  1. Boarding school UK is basically the school where students not only study but also live during a particular term session. So it can be referred to as food, lodging and study all at the same place. These types of schools are full time boarding schools. They provide much more time to each and every student and present a full educational program including sports and various cultural activities.
