Prep school grounds often have a park like atmpshere that add to the school enviroment. This varied a great del from school to school. The fact that many schools are old manor houses mean that well designed grounds came with the property, giving it a lovely park-like feel. There are often park benches placed at useful places on the grounds. While the manor house itself often had to be heavily renovated to adopt the rooms to school use, the grounds them selves were just very useful for a school environment. Often the children do not seem to notice the grounfs, but the walk ways, green areas, and gardens add a wonderful atmpshere to the schools. And like any park, there are normally shrubs and flowers that add color to the changing seasons. The children often seem oblivious to such surroundings, but such surroundings can not help but affect the atmpsphere of the schools.
