Each dormitory house is designed for 10 students from different grade levels and nationalities. The rooms allow for privacy and studying while a shared open living room provides space for social interactions among the dormitory members.
The dormitory houses are secure. Infrared sensors, security cameras, electric lock gates and fences surround the buildings. Entrance is through an administrative building which is permanently tended by staff. Male and female houses are separate and students cannot go freely between the two. House staff are always on duty to support, counsel and guide students.
