About Hostel

The boarding houses provide a comfortable home away from home. Here the student can unwind or study or chat about latest trends. The emphasis is here on collective enjoyment. It has all the facilities that help the children to live and grow in an environment that they can identify as their home.

It also recognizes the uniqueness of each individual and enables its members to synergize in a manner that enriches residential community life. The Hostel is designed to provide every facility for study, leisure and enjoyment, which can add so much to the school days and later-life.

There are air-conditioned rooms in separate wings for boys & girls. Each room is shared by 4 students depending on size of the room and the class of students. A High Definition TV is provided for both boys and girls separately.
