The base of the logo represents the foundation or cornerstone that is provided for the student’s development, as well as a tick for academic excellence. The leaf growing out of the foundation represents new life and growth. We are presently celebrating our 25th anniversary.

Our ethos is based on Philippians 4:8 and 9, “ Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it into practice.”

Show Boarding Schools

As shown above we list all boarding school information. We make it easy for you to contact any boarding school directly. in addition you can find schools in a similar area or province.

A boarding school provides education for pupils who live on the premises, as opposed to a day school. The word “boarding” is used in the sense of “room and board” i.e., lodging and meals. As they have existed for many centuries, and now extend across many countries, their function and ethos varies greatly.

Fewer Distractions. Boarding school students can focus better on their studies because television, video games, phones and other distractors are limited. These young scholars usually perform better academically because they live in an environment that is conducive to learning.
