Boarding life at Concord College International School (CCIS) in Malaysia offers students from Year 7 onwards an enriching and exciting opportunity. Boarding is often seen as the ‘complete’ educational experience.
When students become boarders they are joining a special community based on the campus. Students and staff live alongside each other in an atmosphere of mutual respect and learn from each other in a safe and beautiful environment. The community is a warm and welcoming place.
Boarding often leads students to forge friendships that can last a lifetime. They share so much with their peers and get to know them better than anyone outside their own family: it is this sharing of the experience of boarding life and of growing through the teenage years together that makes friendship and bonds that can last a lifetime.
The purpose-built residences on the campus will offer comfortable accommodation all within easy walking distance of other campus facilities. Boys and girls will be accommodated in separate floors of the residences and students of a similar age will be located together. Students will each have their own individual study bedroom with ensuite shower. All floors will have a pantry and area for the students to socialise as well as a staff office.
The Concord College International School boarding model is based on a concept of ‘Coming Home to Care.’ This means that there is always a member of staff in the residence when boarding students are there. This ensures that young people have a ‘parent figure’ easily available at all times. Age-appropriate routines with more structure and support for the youngest boarders will encourage increasing independence over time to prepare the older students for the challenges of life beyond school. This care is delivered by Boarding Parents, Assistant Boarding Parents and Pastoral Assistants.
