Boarding
A family-like, secure environment from primary to high school for students who live on campus in Dakar.
How does it work?
Kambal's mixed boarding school welcomes Senegalese and international students from primary through high school. It is open during the week and on weekends and holidays (except summer and Christmas breaks).
Living as a boarder at Kambal means a family atmosphere and a safe place suited to everyone's needs and conducive to learning.
Rooms, sports facilities, the school restaurant, auditorium and student common room are designed to welcome students who choose boarding in the best conditions.

Boarding enrolment
At Kambal we support families in their choice by explaining it to the children. Every child is our priority: they must understand and accept their parents' decision. Boarding at Kambal should not be only the parents' project.
Before enrolment, we offer a meeting with the Director General, the coordinator or a deputy so the team can assess and understand your expectations, support your choice, and present the school and its educational project.
If a student has concerns, we reassure them: we have psychologists, specialised educators and a skilled team.
Next step
Book a meeting with the leadership team, or start your pre-registration online.
