Residential life at Green Valley is designed to help students develop a sense of responsibility, self-sufficiency, and connectedness unique to boarding school experience. Students at Best Boarding Schools in Gujarat enjoy living in a nurturing and safe environment. House parents—faculty members who live in the same floor with students—take on a parent-like role or “in loco parentis” giving a true family feeling. From helping with homework, giving advice, to hosting movie nights in the audio visual room, house parents build strong relationships with the students.
Green Valley Hostel rooms are organized by “vertical housing,” which means that every room has students from different grades, allowing senior students to serve as role models. This model ensures that new students are successfully integrated into the community.
Green Valley's boarding community is composed of students from across Gujarat. The diverse and inclusive community helps our students learn to respect, understand, and work effectively with people who have different perspectives and experiences.
Green Valley School offers only 100 seats for hostel unlike other hostels in Gujarat. This is limited to ensure that quality education is imparted, and that the 'family feeling' does not get lost in the huge numbers as evident in other boarding schools. Having a small number of students, helps us to provide the quality expected, and give personal attention to each boarder entrusted with us.
