The school offers two options: homestay (living with a local family) and boarding for students attending Norfolk Christian. These homes are very safe, offering a family-like atmosphere, using English in daily communication, and cozy dinners. The dormitories feature TV rooms, study rooms, and common areas where students can relax after classes.
With numerous after-school activities on weeknights and weekend outings, a low student/teacher ratio, tutoring, and SAT preparation classes, these are some of the highlights of this school.
