They are encouraged and guided to develop valuable skills and qualities such as communication, teamwork, leadership, empathy and cultural understanding, making boarders a happy community and an extended family.

The rooms are sunny, spacious, comfortable, and are allocated on a shared basis (two to three per room) to encourage socialization, and emotional well-being. Each residential facility also houses a TV room and a common study area; dinner is served in the dining hall, always freshly prepared nutritious meals with both vegetarian and non vegetarian options, with a varied menu to cater to international and Indian boarding residents.

Dorm Parents

Each residential facility is staffed by a dedicated boarding parent, who lives on-campus 24/7, in the same building as the hostel students. All boarding parents undergo strict police background verification checks, selected for their ability to be a source of support to children living away from home.
