Residences:
Our girls’ res is home to 80 learners and has two girls per room. Being in res gives the girls a sense of independence while developing a sisterhood and comradery between them.
Our boys’ res is home to 100 boys set up on the same principle as the girls res: two boys per room, which again gives our young men a sense of independence while developing brotherhood and comradery.
Res gives the learners the opportunity to get involved in several school activities and also includes multiple prep rooms with supervised homework sessions in the afternoons and/or evenings.
