Why choose boarding?

Boarding gives girls confidence and independence, helping with self-sufficiency and
self-motivation.

Sharing a living space with students of the same age, but often very different backgrounds, will challenge the girls’ ability to be sensitive and tolerant towards their peers while also learning to respect differences and take pride in their own uniqueness. It is in this environment that students can develop leadership skills and responsibility.

Boarders will receive nutritious meals, good living conditions, support for learning and are encouraged to take part in a variety of recreational activities.
