Boarding at St. John’s International School is a well-balanced experience in a purpose-built facility where our diverse cohort of international students live in a learning community with an academic focus.

Equally important are the myriad opportunities to engage in our unrivalled visual and performing arts programme and make the most of access to specialised sport through our extra-curricular offerings.

Boarding students are encouraged to fully embrace personal and community responsibility while developing lifelong learning, independence, and leadership skills. Boarders develop their personal integrity, live in a respectful community, and make lasting friendships.

They learn to get along with people from diverse backgrounds with different interests.

In Shannon House on the St. John’s campus, our boarders are welcomed by Valérie Charlent, our boarding house parent. She provides the care and support for boarders of every age: from help with homework to leisure activities and duties to keep the boarding house clean and tidy.

Boarders at St. John’s are a part of a wonderful community in which they learn to be themselves, to become independent and to live with others. An invaluable experience, and a great foundation for their future lives.
