Boarding Facilities

Our institution offers boarding facilities for approximately 170 students, comprising approximately 80 girls and 90 boys. The boarding houses are organised into segregated areas to accommodate students of different genders. Our boarding community encompasses students aged between 11 to 17 years old, with a diverse mix of local and international students. In order to ensure the well-being and safety of our boarding students, we maintain a dedicated team of support staff who supervise the boarding blocks 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. These staff members oversee various activities and foster a conducive environment for learning and personal growth. Additionally, select senior students are appointed as prefects to serve as role models and assume responsibilities within the boarding community. We uphold high expectations for our boarding students, encouraging them to exemplify positive attitudes, behaviors, and presentations. They are expected to set standards for others to follow, both in their conduct and their overall approach to life at our esteemed institution.

At Blantyre Baptist Academy, we prioritize the overall well-being and health of our students. One of the key aspects of promoting a healthy lifestyle is providing nutritious and balanced meals.

We take pride in offering a healthy and arguably one of the best diets in our region.

We believe in instilling healthy eating habits from an early age, and our dining hall provides a welcoming environment where students can enjoy their meals and socialize with their peers. We promote portion control, emphasize the importance of fruits and vegetables, and offer a balanced mix of proteins, carbohydrates, and healthy fats.
