Housing
You are housed in a boarding house on the school campus, in a room shared with another student, and you eat on site with the other boarders. A residential staff team is present in the evening and at weekends; study, going-out and bedtime hours are supervised, and activities are organised at weekends. It is the simplest option for students who prefer group life to family life. You arrive a few days before school starts; the school meets you at Wichita airport, and the exact date is confirmed as soon as your place is confirmed.
