Boys typically enjoy a four-day weekend at home once a month, with the possibility of additional leaves based on their efforts and achievements.
Nutrition is a priority at our Academy. All meals, including snacks, are healthy and nutritionally balanced, prepared by our fully accredited chef who is also an alumnus of the Academy. We are proud recipients of the Eat Smart! School Cafeteria Award, recognizing our commitment to healthy eating, food safety, and well-trained staff.
