Our school offers boarding facilities for both male and female students in our Bentley Hall Boarding House. We have a team of dedicated staff working closely with the boarding teachers to provide boarding students a home away from home experience.
Described by our learners as ‘home away from home’, our boarding has a caring family feel, which enables everyone to be an individual, just as they would be in a family. Catering for learners from 13 years to 19 years and from multiple countries and backgrounds. Our small number in boarding houses provide the intimate family feel that we all value so much. Add to this, the usual family comforts you would expect in a home, along with home-made food and a range of activities to choose from, and you can be sure you will feel comfortable.
Situated in the cool environments of Karen and within the school compound. This means it is convenient and safe to operate between the school and boarding houses
We have a home or apartment setup which provides learners with the privacy they want and at the same time the communion they need. Each house has three bedrooms. The house is also self-contained with at least one bath and one toilet. Most have two baths and two toilets. Students are at liberty to choose their roommates although we advocate for learners to board with other learners within their key stage for support.
The houses also have external gazebos which provide a place for the learners to rest and recreate. In addition, the girls boarding facility as well the boys boarding facility have spacious and comfortable lounges equipped with DSTV. When you do not want to watch TV, the learners have access to the school’s Wi-Fi for study and a little recreation.
In addition to the boarding facilities, the school has an Olympic size swimming pool which learners can use under the keen supervision of our qualified swimming instructor. If swimming is not your thing, you can enjoy playing basketball, cricket, tennis, squash, soccer and even rugby after school and during the weekend. You can also build your brain power with any of the following board games while enjoying quality time with other learners; Chess, Monopoly, Scrabble and yes! Snakes and Ladders.
