<p>Assuming a family lives within the required driving radius of the school, is this possible? Do you know anyone who has ever made this transition?</p>
<p>It depends on the school, but some do allow it. The issue would most likely come from fees, as the school might want you to carry on paying the boarding fees for a certain number of terms.
The transition is much more common the other way, as students find the commute too taxing or feel they’re missing out on activites.</p>
<p>Yes, it has happened at DS’s school. It’s comparatively easier for a school to permit a change from boarding to day, because the other way around would require them to find another bed/dormroom that was unanticipated.</p>
<p>Keep in in mind that the daily schedule at BS tends to be very full and very long, and includes weekend participation. If your commuting distance is far, it may be a thoroughly exhausting alternative.</p>
