Our Boarding Program offers girls a true "Home Away from Home" experience, providing a nurturing environment where they feel supported, engaged, and inspired to excel both academically and personally.


A Professional and Caring Community

Our Boarding Faculty is the heart of what makes Branksome Hall Asia so special. Comprised of experienced women who are deeply committed to the growth and development of each student, our Teacher Dons and Heads of House live on campus throughout the school year. This ensures that students have immediate access to academic and emotional support, fostering a close-knit community where every girl feels valued and cared for.

Program Highlights

The Branksome Hall Asia Boarding Program is designed to provide students with the resources, opportunities, and support they need to succeed. Key features include:

  • 24/7 Access to Resources: Teachers are available on weekends, and school facilities remain open for boarding students, ensuring they always have what they need to thrive.

  • Focused Learning Time: With less time spent commuting, students can dedicate more energy to their studies and extracurricular activities.

  • Language Skill Development: Boarding offers additional opportunities for English language practice, helping students build confidence and fluency.

  • Comprehensive Support: Year-round drop-in sessions with counselors, teachers, and academic support staff ensure students are supported in every aspect of their lives.

  • Family-Like Care: Each Family Don cares for a small "family" of students, maintaining a nurturing 1:10 ratio that fosters close relationships and individualized attention.

  • Leadership Opportunities: Weekly Council meetings encourage leadership development, community engagement, and life skills that will serve students well beyond their time at Branksome Hall Asia.

Creating Life-Long Memories

Life in our boarding houses is about more than just academics—it’s about building friendships, exploring new interests, and creating unforgettable experiences. Our balanced schedule includes engaging weekend activities such as museum visits, cafe outings, tangerine picking, arts and crafts, and more. With access to the school’s state-of-the-art facilities throughout the weekend, students can pursue hobbies, further their studies, and enjoy downtime with friends.

As one Grade 11 student shared, "I really like the family-like atmosphere in our Boarding House." This sense of belonging is at the core of our program, helping students develop independence, personal growth, and lifelong connections.

State-of-the-Art Boarding Houses

Our architecturally designed Boarding Houses are more than just dormitories—they are modern, comfortable spaces where students can relax, recharge, and feel at home. Each house features:

  • Spacious Bedrooms: Single or double occupancy rooms designed for comfort and privacy.

  • 24/7 Access to Wellness Resources: From the on-campus Medical Center to first aid stations and Teacher Dons on duty, students’ health and safety are always prioritized.

  • Proximity to Campus Facilities: Boarding Houses are adjacent to the Wellness Center, giving students direct access to the dining hall, fitness room, gymnasium, ice rink, yoga rooms, indoor swimming pool, and sports fields.

  • Transportation Services: Safe and supervised airport shuttles, school buses for events, and organized activities ensure students can explore and travel with ease.
