Boarding in Moshi
"Students at the Centre" This is our residential theme for 2007/8. Through our boarding programme we hope to instill lasting values and build character - encouraging young people to take an active role in the life of our community and facilitating a culture of student leadership are essential parts of this endeavour.
On the Moshi Campus we have facilities to cater for the needs of boarding students between 7 and 19 years of age. These are provided in a number of different houses separated by age and gender. However, we pride ourselves in offering more than just accommodation. Boarding at ISM is an educational experience that will last a lifetime.

The backbone of our programme is "The Five Pillars of Boarding". Our experienced and well-trained boarding parents aim to create an atmosphere where five concepts - community, environment, respect, responsibility, & communication - are at the core of everything we do and every choice we enable our students to make.
|
Nightly, our students engage in rigorous hours of supervised study (time spent in study hall varies depending on the age of the child), but this is appropriately balanced by a dynamic intramural sports programme, and a wide range of weekly activities & weekend trips.
Boarders are under the care of boarding parents who live next to their boarding house and who support them throughout the day. For younger boarders, staff accommodation is attached.

 | Also central to our programme are Boarding Council and Residential Education: Boarding Council meets regularly with the Head of Boarding to represent the interests of boarding students in residential life; our Residential Education curriculum supplements Life Skills lessons students receive during their tuition, but focus more acutely on the needs of those living in the a residential community. |
Excellence is the goal of the boarding team. Whether it is during study hall, in the dining hall, or on the sports pitch we are dedicated to reflecting this goal in our work and imparting this spirit into the hearts and minds of the children we care for. Boarding at ISM is education for tomorrow, today.
