The school has a separate boarding for boys and girls. For students, coming to the boarding means, living away from home for the first time. So we need to be sure that the place is clean, comfortable, safe and within easy reach of all activities. The boarding students are encouraged to take full advantage of all the facilities and opportunities provided to them. Accommodation for students is provided in well maintained, fully furnished hostels with spacious dormitories. It’s here, where the young students learn the spirit of togetherness and imbibe the value of sharing and caring for one another.
The boarding students have an organized schedule, which allocates them with time for self-studies, tutorials, extra-classes, games, recreation and rest. The students’ well-being is looked after by a team of dedicated house staff and wardens, who provide them with a homely and friendly atmosphere.
The boarding has facilities like television rooms, reading lounge, recreation rooms with table tennis and billiards tables and separate rooms for self-studies. The wardens pay individual attention to each child, acting like strong and motivating parents and counseling them when required.
