The longing for home; the insatiable want – for the company of one’s dear ones are feeling that – a person who treads into the portals of Bishop Cotton might have. From experience, I can assert that these last not for more than two days. Two days in our dormitories are powerful enough to snub the homesickness that props up in the heart.

With a multicultural cosmopolitan crowd of 200 boys, time seems to run away from us. The 20 member resident staff of experienced teachers and counselors are bent on seeing to it that there is no discomfort or frustration in the minds of anyone, especially the little ones in 3rd and 4th standards. The roles and routine of the boarding home at cottons are established so as to suit the needs of the average student who seeks and all-round development of personality. Being followed from the times of Englishmen, these regulations and principles to enable one, while passing out, to say with confidence that he is prepared for life.
