At St. Louis Boarding School, we create an environment where pupils have peace of mind and are able to achieve their best in a nurturing, stimulating and supportive atmosphere. All boarding students are expected to uphold the values of St. Louis School which are the heart of our boarding community. We believe that students embrace the boarding experience because we strive to create a “home away from home”, along with outstanding academic opportunities. Boarders are exposed to a rich and balanced portfolio of experiences at St. Louis Boarding House. We arrange many recreational school trips and outings. Our aim is to instill meaningful values and good behavior. Respect and consideration of others are the cornerstones of our philosophy. Rest assured that your son/daughter will not only enjoy their time with us, but thrive and blossom in this highly stimulating environment. We can host up to 22 students in comfortable flats consisting of two bedrooms and one bathroom. Each room is organised to accommodate two students. Each student is given a high bed with a cupboard and bookshelves underneath. Rooms are well equipped with modern furniture, including a desk for students to study and a small whiteboard for personal use. The possibility of having a roommate is an enriching aspect of the boarding experience. The boarding house has a dining room, a TV room and a large living room where students can spend free time together. A laundry is available as well, where students can leave their clothes to be washed and ironed. Boarders aged 14-18 will spend their days completing their International Baccalaureate (IB Diploma) at our Archinto Campus, the top performing IB World School in Continental Europe. As a highly respected qualification, the IB Diploma equips our students with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in their next educational steps at prestigious universities and colleges around the world. During the evening, all boarders will return to the boarding house and will be expected to engage in a structured academic and recreational evening programme designed to strengthen their academic performance, build strong social skills and encourage full participation in boarding school life. Weekly boarders stay with us from Monday morning to Friday afternoon, while full boarders will have sports, activities and optional trips and excursions to fill their weekends.
