Pastoral Care for our Boarders
Providing excellent pastoral care is at the core of Boarding at Nilai International School. The House Parents monitor the progress of the Boarders and work hard to ensure that they happy, healthy and fulfilled individuals.
The Boarding House is well-staffed and is led by the Head of Boarding and International Projects and the House Parents. They are all trained and experienced academic members of staff who live in the Boarding House. This creates a caring community and a family atmosphere.

The House Parents are the first point of contact for students, parents, and guardians regarding any questions or concerns. The House Parents actively promote the personal growth of the Boarders, developing their life skills and providing positive experiences. Within a safe and structured environment, students are guided to take responsibility, work positively with tolerance and respect, and develop independence.
