Boarding follows an international model with boarding houses fully integrated into school life. A mix of local and expatriate staff provides supervision and pastoral support; new boarders are paired with existing boarders to help them settle, and bedrooms are allocated by age with rotating roommates to avoid isolation. Housemasters and housemistresses are Chinese-speaking and can be contacted by email or phone; the boarding staff maintain open dialogue with parents when issues arise.
The dining program provides safe and nutritionally rich meals. Weekly meal plans are published for kindergarten through high school to show menus and ingredients.
The house system is the pastoral hub of the school. It fosters a cohesive, English-speaking community where international and Chinese pupils meet regularly and participate in house activities. It delivers pastoral care, builds house spirit, and connects to co-curricular events with balanced emphasis on sport, service, culture and academics.
