BOARDING
Repton School in Dubai is proud to officially announce that we will be offering Girls' Boarding for the academic year 2010/2011.
Repton School is the first boarding school in the GCC and opened its doors for Boys' Boarding in September 2008. The boarding concept, new to the region, has been a success with over 40 boarders joining the school in the first year. Repton School is now proud to make history again by launching the Girls' Boarding programme for ages 11 through to 18.
The Girls' Boarding house will be in an entirely separate building to the boys' boarding. The building will cater to 125 girls and will have 24 hour security, a Housemistress, Resident Tutors, a Matron, supervising Gap students and domestic staff.
In due course there will be space for up to 250 boarders in the School, with a maximum of 125 per Boarding House. This will give the School a neatly balanced division between boarders and day pupils.The boarding facilities at Repton School Dubai are second to none and are comparable only to the very best of boarding schools in the UK, Australia or North America.
The School provides a distinctive boarding experience, with an emphasis on creating a warm, comfortable, as well as nurturing environment, where the students are stimulated to achieve their best.
The School’s teachers are actively involved in the boarding programme and each member of staff takes great pride and care in their responsibility in loco parentis. One of the School’s core values is that of family and we aim to promote this within the community ambience created within the Boarding Houses.
Children who board at the School are sorted into Houses, each of which is managed by the Housemaster. The Houseparent in charge is supported by a team of resident House Tutors, a Matron, Gap students and the staff at the School Medical Centre, as well as the kitchen staff.
The Boarding Houses will join together for breakfast and dinner in the Cafeteria, whilst lunch will be taken with the Day House to which the boarder belongs.
The leisure facilities in the Boarding House are second to none. A large Common Room has a 50" TV with DVD and Surround Sound, as well as a Wii console and various games. In addition there are table-tennis, pool and table-football tables available whenever the boarders have free time.
Boarders benefit from a varied programme of extra-curricular activities throughout the week, as well as on weekends, making use of the campus facilities and the cultural and sporting attractions around Dubai.
In 2008, Repton School Dubai welcomed its first boarders - the first Boarding House of any school in the Middle East!
