What You Will Be Doing:
Our primary goal: ensuring that our students' time here is not only safe but also enriching and enjoyable. First and foremost, it is crucial that we keep our dorms safe and secure. This means regularly checking for any potential hazards, conducting safety drills, and ensuring that all safety protocols are followed diligently. A secure environment is the foundation of a positive boarding experience. Additionally, organizing fun after-school and weekend activities is a fantastic way to engage our students. These activities provide them with opportunities to unwind, socialize, and develop new skills. Whether it's sports, arts and crafts, or cultural outings, let's get creative and offer a variety of options to cater to different interests. Supporting students with their transportation and daily needs is another important aspect. Our goal is to make their day-to-day lives as smooth and stress-free as possible. We also need to help students adjust to boarding life. For many, this is their first time away from home, and it can be challenging. Offering guidance, being approachable, and fostering a supportive community can make a significant difference in their adjustment process. Lastly, maintaining our recreation equipment and campus areas is essential. Regular maintenance ensures that our facilities are safe and enjoyable for everyone. Together, we can create a remarkable boarding school experience for our students.

Another perk to consider is the generous time off. You'll enjoy summers off from early May through mid-August, allowing for plenty of rest and relaxation. Plus, we offer a three-week Christmas vacation, giving you ample time to spend with your loved ones during the holiday season.

The Working Environment You Can Expect:
