Boarding in Moshi
ISM's Moshi Campus welcomes boarding students aged 7 years and above. The quiet and secluded Moshi Campus offers an excellent environment for boarding students which, combined with a high level of care from boarding parents, helps to ensure that all have the maximum opportunity to achieve success and develop as leaders for the future.
Each boarding house has its own common room furnished with easy chairs, and tables suitable for board games and coffee cups. The students have a kettle, a toaster, a cooker, conventional ovens, and microwave ovens. There are refrigerators in each house. The school supplies fruits, coffee, tea, sugar, milk, margarine, honey, jam, peanut butter, oil, salt and pepper to boarders, as well as cups and cutlery (students are encouraged to bring their own mugs if they are regular coffee/tea drinkers). A connection to the school network is available in all rooms, and personal internet access is optionally available for secondary students in bedrooms at a monthly fee of $40 - note that all students have free internet access in the Computer Centre and Library.
All houses have shower facilities with both hot and cold water. The room interiors can be decorated with posters, pictures and photographs of the student's choice (the fronts of doors are common domain and are not to be personalised). We ask only that there are no pictures that may cause offence to fellow students or visitors. Many students also bring their own rugs and/or floor mats to help brighten up their rooms. Each student is issued a key to his/her room. Bed sheets and pillowcases (changed on a weekly basis), insect sprays, and toilet rolls are also provided.
We aim to make boarders feel at home in their boarding houses on campus.
The individual boarding houses are as follows:

Our Boarding Houses
Our boarders live in a number of different houses, separated for the different ages and sexes. A boarding parent lives in or immediately next to each boarding house and is responsible for the care and supervision of the students. Each boarding parent is assisted by one or two other members of staff assigned to that house. Our Head of Boarding, Tim Hope () is responsible for overseeing the whole boarding programme and ensuring the standards that we expect.Each boarding house has its own common room furnished with easy chairs, and tables suitable for board games and coffee cups.
