About
Our residential program goes much beyond being a mere boarding facility; it is a critical part of the holistic DIS experience. Learn about body control and spatial awareness
We have 20 student residences in the building accommodating 6 students each. All our girl students are accommodated above the main office block. Unlike most boarding schools, we keep the number of students in each residence small, so every member’s needs can be identified and addressed, while at the same time providing them ample space to develop and reflect. This means their social, emotional, physical, spiritual and academic development is closely assisted and supported in every way. The overall emphasis in each residence is to create a unique combination of a space that is home and community at the same time. There is 1 residential parent for every 6 residence.

Loco Parentis
The residential parents play a very important role in a student’s life during their school years. Our residential parents act as “Loco Parentis”, wherein they play the role of a third parent in a students’ life instead of trying to replace the parents; assisting holistic growth of the student in collaboration with the parents.
The residential parents are always in close communication with every students’ family.
