Our top-class boarding facility provides a warm, comfortable environment for full-term, weekly and occasional boarders in Grades 8 to 12.

    This modern, spacious home away from home, nurtures independence and self-confidence, while girls learn the importance of respect in a communal, family-orientated living environment. Boarding school life is carefully overseen by a housemistress, matron and four members of the academic staff.

    Common rooms cater for girls of similar ages and are each equipped with a television, microwave oven, kettle, and refrigerator. Game consoles, table tennis and other activities provide entertainment in a large, communal living space.

    Laptops, iPads, and cellphones may be used and learners have access to Wi-Fi during the afternoons and evenings.

    The boarding house is closed over certain weekends, and during school holidays and mid-term breaks.
