Boarding & Hostel at Makseth School: Live, Learn & Grow Together.
At MAKSETH School, boarding is a core aspect of our institution, and we aim to emphasize that for our boarders, this is not just a place to stay, but their home. It is essential that every boarder feels a strong sense of belonging, being valued, and appreciated.
Typically, boarders remain on campus during weekends and participate in various weekend programs. However, they may have the opportunity to go out with their parents or guardians on weekends, but only with explicit consent from the parents. The parents are responsible for arranging the pickup and drop-off of their children to and from the hostel.
Junior & Senior Boarding Education in Kadoma
At Makseth International School, Junior boarding students (Grade 3–7) benefit from a safe, nurturing environment with gender-specific rooms, secure storage, and recreational areas equipped with TV and DSTV. The program is overseen by the Principal, with each house managed by a Boarding Master or Matron, supported by residential staff, providing a structured home away from home.
For Senior boarding students (Form 1–6), the focus is on independence and comfort. They stay in comfortable hostels with separate wings for boys and girls, enjoy balanced meals, have access to on-campus health care, and participate in structured evening study sessions. This environment promotes academic focus, personal growth, and lasting friendships.

Meet Our House Parents, Amazing People Who Make Makseth A Home.
Excellent infrastructure alone is insufficient without a compassionate, caring, and actively involved staff to oversee the children's wellbeing. The house parents and residential staff play an indispensable role in this endeavour as the primary caregivers. They go beyond fulfilling their duties and serve as role models, attentive listeners, and consistently available sources of support while maintaining a gentle yet firm approach when required.

Pocket Money, How to Support Your Child's Upkeep.
Boarders are provided with a fixed amount of pocket money for their personal expenses whenever required. The parents or students are required to deposit this money to the account’s office for safekeeping. The boarders are not allowed to carry large amounts of money. The accounts office will deduct the required amount from the student's account and disburse it accordingly.
