If there’s one word to describe our boarding, it is ‘balance’. We ensure that study, recreation, activity, and rest are enjoyed in measure. Students enjoy our friendly atmosphere, and we strive every day to make it as close as possible to the home experience. CIS Boarding houses students in Grades 6 -12 in a modern, welcoming accommodation. We are a large family with students from several nationalities.
Boarding Parents are crucially responsible for creating a safe, healthy and friendly environment conducive to studies, where all boarders work towards becoming academically focused, active, and caring individuals. Boarding parents enhance the community living experience of boarding students. Boarding parents help to promote a balanced lifestyle among students and the ability to make the right choices, now and later in life.The role of the Local Guardian is a critical one. In case of health conditions requiring regular visits to a physician or hospital, CIS boarding is unable to make individual arrangements. Local Guardians see to it that student needs are met. Boarders may wish to spend weekends or short breaks at the Local Guardian’s home, or in case contagious illness prevents them from staying in boarding.
During dussehra, winter break (December), spring break (end of March/beginning of April) and summer holidays (June to August). CIS Boarding is open at all other times. Students can stay for short breaks, weekends and other holidays. Parents are welcome to visit anytime and need only inform the relevant boarding parent a minimum of 1 day in advance. Stay at Boarding for parents is not possible. We recommend the following nearby hotels:
The CIS Boarding has a range of spaces for students to live life to the fullest. Boys and girls stay in two separate wings on either side of the school restaurant/cafeteria. Boarding students share rooms in pairs of the same age/grade or can elect to have a single room. Current boarding students have helped with the design of common recreation area spaces and furniture, all to make their experience more like home. Some of the most popular areas are:
The Lounges
There are separate, common lounges for boys and girls each with a cinema set-up and surround sound for the right kind of movie night experience. Students also love to play table tennis, foosball or pool there, or simply hang out and chat with friends.
The Pantry Areas
Students enjoy making their own snacks or cooking light meals at the weekend. Baking cakes and cookies is also a prized activity for our budding masterchefs!
The Gym
Students spend a significant amount of time in the gym to increase their fitness levels.
The Football Field
This is the most used sports facility in the school. Every evening and weekends students will be playing there, before study hall.
