Boarding and Student Affairs:
Students’ boarding is compulsory in TISS. The boarding houses are designed, made and organized to be a home away from home for our treasured children. The boarding houses are nicked-named “Kingdoms” while their occupants are treated and inspired to develop and sustain the attitude of responsible “Royals”, determined to be strategic change agents in their various worlds as they grow up.
Topfaith International School, the compulsory full-boarding system ensures that students are fed on well-structured menus.
Meals are complemented with rich healthy snacks daily, thus rendering the traditional concepts of pocket money and provision irrelevant in our system. Pocket money and provisions are therefore unnecessary and not acceptable.
Students’ social lives also receive clear attention. Various club programmes equally spice up students activities. Students are required to belong to and take an active part in at least two clubs in the school. Such club includes; Debating, Literary, and Drama, French, JETS, Young Entrepreneurs, Arts, and Music, Bible club, NAFDAC and UNESCO Clubs.
