Boarding School Life In Lord of the Flies the boys are evacuated out of Britain due to a nuclear threat. Before crashing on a tropical island, the boys all attended the same boarding school in England before the evacuation.
It is assumed that the boarding school was quite large as most of the boys did not know each other prior to the crash. The boarding school also held boys ages six to twelve as the eldest boy on the island is twelve years old and the youngest is six. Children where put into boarding schools at a young age and that is where they spent the majority of their childhood, only coming home for holidays. There are three types of boarding schools; boys only boarding schools, girls only boarding schools, and co-ed boarding schools. They all function in a similar way.
