Why choose a Christian, all-girls, full boarding school?

Firstly, Inanda Seminary emphasises a strong set of values rooted in Christian teachings, which can provide a solid moral foundation for young women. The daily chapel service reinforces these values, offering a space for reflection and spiritual growth.

Safety is another significant advantage. Inanda Seminary provides a secure environment, reducing the risks associated with daily travel on public transport. This also translates to lower costs, as parents do not need to worry about transportation expenses or the daily feeding of a growing teenager.

Moreover, the boarding school setting allows for more time to study, with supervised study sessions ensuring that students stay on track academically. There is also ample time for a variety of extramural activities. This structured environment fosters strong sisterly relationships, as students live and learn together, creating bonds that often last a lifetime. 

All these factors collectively support the development of independence, resilience, and leadership. By living away from home, students learn to manage their time, take responsibility for their actions, and develop the confidence to lead. These skills are invaluable, preparing them for future challenges both in higher education and in their personal lives.

In a country where patriarchal and sexist attitudes are prevalent, girls can feel more able to choose traditionally male-dominated areas such as STEM subjects, and also feel free to succeed without feeling they should not undermine boys.
