Yes, AVS is a fully residential boarding school.

This “exclusive” boarding system is what enables the school to offer such a packed schedule of activities, ranging from sports in the early morning hours to supervised study sessions in the evenings.

Why is Assam Valley School considered one of the best co-ed residential schools in India?

It is unique because it not only treats “co-ed” as a badge, but it also fosters a mature environment where boys and girls work together as equals on 235 acres of world-class infrastructure. As a Round Square school, AVS focuses on global citizenship and adventure. With Olympic-standard sports grounds to premium arts education, it provides a level of networking that few schools in Asia can offer.

What is a residential school in India?
