Our boarding facility is more than just accommodation; it's an integral part of the holistic development experience we offer at Innovate Institute.

HOUSE PARENTS

The facility operates under the overall guidance of the Headmaster and is directly supervised by the Boarding Master or Matron, in close coordination with the residential staff and housekeeping team. Additionally, resident teaching staff are available to support students during study hours. Our boarding staff are compassionate, caring, and dedicated individuals. House parents play an essential role, providing a nurturing, parental presence to guide, shape, and support students, taking a personal interest in their needs and well‑being to ensure they are well‑groomed and on the path to success.

LAUNDRY SERVICES

The school provides a laundry service at a monthly premium. Laundry is collected twice a week, overseen by a house parent. To ensure easy identification, all clothing items must be labeled with name tags.

POCKET MONEY & TUCK

For safekeeping, boarding parents are encouraged to entrust pocket money to the house parents, who will keep a detailed journal of deposits and withdrawals. Students are welcome to bring snacks such as potato crisps, noodles, cookies, juice, cereals, and milk. However, items like Zapnacks, canned foods, candies, and fizzy drinks are not permitted.
