Developing sense of belonging to a vibrant community

At Creators, boarding is not just about accommodation; it is about belonging to a vibrant community. Here, each student is genuinely valued for their unique identity. It is a place where happy children forge lasting connections, develop a strong sense of belonging, and create cherished memories alongside their peers, as well as a network of caring adult advisors and mentors.

Developing independence skills at Creators International School

ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS

Developing independence while attending boarding school is an invaluable aspect of a student’s growth. Living away from home and being responsible for one’s daily routines, decision-making, and self-care fosters essential life skills such as self-reliance, problem-solving, time management, social skills, resilience, open-mindedness, and adaptability. By mastering these essential life skills, students develop a strong foundation for success in college, future careers, and their personal lives. They become confident, resourceful, and adaptable individuals.

Building character at Creators International Schoo

BUILDING CHARACTER

Living away from home naturally presents students with situations that require them to consider the consequences of their actions. This, coupled with the guidance and support of our experienced boarding staff, creates a space for self-discovery and personal growth. Through everyday interactions and challenges, students learn to take ownership of their choices, navigate ethical dilemmas, and develop a strong moral compass. Our staff act as mentors, offering support and constructive feedback, helping students become more selfaware, responsible individuals who are prepared to face the complexities of life with integrity and confidence.

Enjoying free time at Creators International School

FREE TIME TO EXPLORE

At Creators, boarding students have ample time to run, play, learn and socialise. Access to modern sports facilities such as basketball courts, a heated swimming pool and a gym, means students can actively engage in sports and maintain their physical and mental health. Our boarding environment provides opportunities for students to use their free time to focus and explore their interests without distractions of, for example, gaming, television and social media, and as a result, students are generally highly motivated, more engaged and better supported in their learning environment.

Termly Boarding

Our termly boarding option is ideal for students seeking a consistent and immersive educational experience. This option allows students to stay on campus throughout the term, providing them with ample opportunities to engage in school activities, access our facilities and resources, and form lifelong friendships. The structured environment fosters a sense of community and supports academic growth, making it a popular choice for those who wish to fully embrace school life.

Weekly Boarding

For families desiring flexibility during the school week, our weekly boarding program offers a perfect balance. Students can enjoy the benefits of boarding from Monday to Friday, returning home for the weekends. This arrangement supports students whose families live within convenient travel distance from the school for them to go home on the weekends, while still allowing them to have an immersive boarding experience during the week.

What age is best for boarding school?

Boarding schools truly flourish with students between 11 and 18 years old. This aligns perfectly with the prime developmental years for benefiting most from a structured, immersive educational environment followed by most of the world’s leading educational institutions.

What are the benefits of boarding?

Boarding provides a haven of stability and structure, fostering a sense of belonging for students to thrive in a supportive environment. With excellent sports facilities readily available and the elimination of travel time, boarders have more flexibility with their time, which benefits their academic progress as well as their physical and emotional health. Living and learning alongside students from diverse backgrounds also equips young minds with the essential skills to navigate and contribute to an increasingly interconnected world.

How much does it cost to go to a boarding school? Is it worth it?

The full fee schedule, including boarding costs can be found on our fees page linked on this page. While the price of a private boarding school is higher than a day school, it’s important to consider the comprehensive experience offered. Beyond our outstanding academic program, boarding provides daily support, meals, comfortable accommodation, a wealth of extracurricular activities, and enriching trips – all seamlessly integrated into student life. This holistic approach goes far beyond the day school experience.

What if my child is homesick?

It’s natural to worry about homesickness. Many students experience it during the initial adjustment. Our caring boarding and pastoral staff are here to help. They closely monitor student well-being and provide a supportive environment to ease the transition. With engaging activities and friendly classmates to connect with, homesickness usually fades quickly.

Are there medical facilities available after hours?

Our dedicated school nurse is available on-call for any urgent medical needs. Additionally, our duty staff is all first aid certified and prepared to assist in any situation. Should a more serious issue arise, they will promptly arrange for appropriate medical attention.
