Kshitij and Prerna, the boys’ and girls’ boarding houses, have been conceived as a home for the students. Both the houses have independent pastoral care providers. The students are accommodated in spacious dorms which are fully air-conditioned keeping the summer months in mind. Each dorm has four to five occupants and every student is entitled to designated study space in the prep rooms spread evenly on each floor. While an effective tutorial system reinforces the academic/pastoral needs of the students, there is a highly structured academic monitoring specially for the boarding students through an academic coordinator who looks after the academic development and monitors progress of each pupil.
A special boarding calendar is followed allowing space for various activities, sports, co-scholastic opportunities to all under the supervision of an activity coordinator. The boarding calendar allows the boarders to meet their parents every month so that the students are in active contact with the parents and the parents get a chance to track the progress of the pupil.
