Children are prepared to take their place in, and create, a caring and forward-looking society.

There are separate boarding houses for boys and girls. Every hostel is capable of housing 90 to 100 students in a variety of units ranging from 12 person dormitories, for junior students to 4 person bed suites in the senior years. A good number of Class 12 students have a room to themselves.(Google Earth - Coordinates: 26046'53.13"N 92044'41.1"E)
