Boarding Life

A second home for students from Grade 6 onward.

Philosophy

More Than a Place to Sleep

Boarding at NPS is built around structure and belonging in equal measure. House parents live on-site and know every boarder by name, weekly routines balance study and rest, and boarders share the same classrooms, teachers, and playing fields as day scholars — so the transition never feels like a separate school within a school.

Where They Live

Dormitories

  • • Rooms of 3–4 students, grouped by grade and age
  • • Attached washrooms, study desks, and personal storage per student
  • • Separate junior wing (Grades 6–8) and senior wing (Grades 9–12)
  • • Common rooms with television, board games, and reading corners on each floor

Time Off

Weekend & Holiday Policy

Boarders have supervised outings on Saturdays and free time on Sunday afternoons. Long weekends and mid-term breaks are published on the academic calendar each term, and boarders travel home for all school vacations. Early or additional leave requests go through the Boarding Leave Request Form, available on the Parent Resources page.
