Yandutse College offers full boarding to female students only.  This makes for an interesting student body where friendships can be forged with classmates from a variety of places.  Yandutse College provides a home for students from all over Nigeria and from elsewhere.  We are strong advocates of boarding, believing it to be an important contributor in the creation of academic and social excellence.

The boarding house is designed to provide a welcoming home for our students and all hostels offer excellent facilities for comfortable living as well as providing a suitable environment for a balanced pursuit of study and recreation. Students’ academic work is supervised, and many activities are arranged during weekends and evenings to keep students busy.  Each boarding house has cable television, and all dormitories and rooms are air conditioned and a computer lounge.

In most cases boarding school life will be a rich and rewarding experience for our students.  Many parents who have experienced these themselves recognize the value of boarding, and opt to send their children to boarding school.  Self-discipline and respect for others are two important attributes which close living and learning develop.  Students often form relationships which will remain with them for the rest of their lives.  It is an important objective at Yandutse College to provide all the security and freedom required for each individual to develop to her own natural limits.  The resources of the school are available to the students outside school hours, and there are opportunities for a wide range of activities.

At Yandutse College we aim to ensure that students are truly benefiting from the boarding experience. Parents can assist us by discussing with their children what it means to be a boarder prior to their arrival at school.

Boarders stay at school during the week and at weekends, but are allowed to spend the weekend home or with friends twice per term, and half term breaks when all students are required to go on leave.

Our boarders live in a boarding house, which is run by a resident Housemaster or Housemistress, a Resident Deputy, and a Matron, all of whom live in.  This team is at the heart of the ‘family feel’ that exists in each house, with staff knowing the students well, ensuring they are there to give plenty of support and guidance, as well as being in regular contact with the parents. The houses themselves are comfortable and homely, geared to provide the right atmosphere and facilities to meet the needs of growing and developing teenagers.
