Parents often ask this because they are not sure if their son is too young or already too old.
The right age has less to do with a fixed number and more to do with what a boy is starting to face in his own life.
Once a boy begins pulling away from parents, comparing himself to others, forming his own opinions, or struggling with confidence, he is usually ready for this kind of guided reflection.
“The right age has less to do with a fixed number and more to do with what a boy is starting to face in his own life.”
For many boys, this begins around the upper primary years and continues right through secondary school, which is why our intakes are built to serve boys across that wider range, grouped by age and stage rather than treated as one block.
Younger boys often benefit most from building confidence and good habits early, before peer pressure grows stronger.
Older boys often need deeper conversations about purpose and responsibility, closer to the real choices adulthood will demand of them.
If you are unsure whether your son fits, it is better to ask us directly than to guess on your own.
