Brand new boarding houses opened in September 2017 and October 2020,

safeguards and promotes their welfare (ISI Inspection 2022). The boarding
houses are friendly places with good facilities and space for study and
leisure. New students, from many countries, quickly settle into the School
community. Boarders are fully integrated into all aspects of school life.
