Indeed, IBS has 150 students living in boarding homes from 10 to 18 years old who benefit from a truly stimulating environment of linguistic and cultural exchange.
​
Of course, boarding students benefit from a specialized program (with scheduled study periods both at school and at their boarding homes).
​
These study periods are designed to encourage self-motivated, independent learning – a skill which will serve them well as they go on to study at university.
​
The close proximity enjoyed between students of diverse nationalities fosters language learning and cultural awareness.
Responsible, experienced adults living in the boarding homes work hard to ensure a climate of trust, respect and understanding.
​
In this way, our boarding homes provide students with a friendly, family-style atmosphere – a place of authentic “life together”.
