The Khao Yai campus is a day and boarding school. Boarding is available for students from nursery to age 18, with about 30% of students boarding. The boarding facilities are on the two upper floors of the main school building with separate boys' and girls' dormitories. A Head of Boarding leads the boarding team, and all boarders participate in After School Activities and supervised study, with boarding staff acting as tutors and on-site nurses providing medical and pastoral care. Full-time boarding is offered with weekend flexibility (Friday afternoon–Monday morning) or weekly boarding (Sunday evening–Friday afternoon).
